I've had a sponsored account for my icons journal, before a friend gifted me with paid time.
Here's the deal: anyone with a paid account won't see any ads anyway.
And those who are on a free account only need to use Firefox and the Adblock Plus extension (I use the subscription list of Easy List for the US and Dr Evil for Germany) and afaik they simply WON'T see any ads. I only saw nice empty spots where the ads would have been.
A friend of mine who is on Safari had to look at the ads though and found them very annoying.
So ... if you are comfy with Firefox, I'd say there's nothing to say against a sponsored account. And you can always warn those regular readers of your journal that don't have a paid account about the Firefox/Adblock Plus trick. :-)
