The last thing users want or need is ads on the WP editor screen. Calling it anything else is at best “marketing spin.”

It appears that the goal of the JetPack team is to insert their ads in every nook and cranny. Let’s help them out:

– On the login screen put an ad for brute force attack protection

– On the Settings discussion screen put an ad for Akismet

– In the media library put in ads for file and image hosting

– On the edit screen put an add for social media posting on the Publish button

This is clearly functionality locked behind payment otherwise it would work without payment. The fact that the blocks are unlocked via a web service doesn’t change that. If people want to subscribe to JetPack, fine, but we shouldn’t allow non-functioning blocks in the editor.
