Suggestion for Space on front page + Follow Gallery

This is just a suggestion on the better use of open space on the front page of the site to better navigate and would also generate ad revenue for the site.
Following Gallery
This would work like the Public Gallery but only display for images posted by those you follow. It could be added as a toggle under the Gallery button, allowing for people to filter down to just the people/stores they follow.
Unused Space
Preview Gallery
The Preview Gallery would specifically create a preview window that could be toggled between several options, Public Gallery, Followed Gallery, Event Gallery and Ad Gallery.
Depending on the users choice it would show the latest postings of each category filtering for only postings with images.
Marketplace Ads + Banners + Gallery
This would generate revenue for the site, allowing people to post ads for their stores/events that would cycle through for a set amount of time. To prevent malware redirects the form to fill out and post these ads could have prefilled boxes for Market place and SL Map redirects, or Primfeed pages. While people are often not fans of ads, using the ad space for SL venues, stores and events would be preferable, and give stores a bigger reach on the platform and tempt more store owners to move here instead of other outside platforms.

Marketplace ads: As a paying user, I would not want to see advertisements displayed in this way and/or manner without being able to opt out of displays of such. As well as if I were a free user, I would not want to see this. I am heavily against homepage advertisements as it does feel intrusive and has the potential to ruin/dampen the experience of what a lot of users have signed up for.
If there is an opt out feature, lovely.
If not, I'm against it as it's paying for engagement/exposure and as a paid user, I would not want this experience as it's not what I signed up for as a user of this platform.

Suggestion for 'advertisements' on the site: When viewing a store's page that is integrated/using easybloggers, advertisements would be cool to see in exchange of them not invading the homepage of a user that potentially is not following a store. This would allow for store owners to advertise their products on their page, and cycle through a certain amount of posts for 'most recently made' or something of that sort.

Brat Waifu: No worries, I like the idea of using the space below the search bar like that, but not with ads :)
