The way the original article[1] describes them they sound very much like the adverts[2] Youtube uses. They're at the top of the page playing in the background and you're given the option to hover over to activate the sound of the video. They're not wonderful adverts but they're not too inconvenient. All I wish is that Facebook (and any other company that uses adverts) would allow me to pay a fee to hide the adverts. Facebook doesn't mean enough to me to put up with annoying adverts but it means enough that paying $5/m to have a "good" experience when I do use it is something I would do.
