Dump the Blogroll?

Blogrolling started putting ads on top of every website and to make matters worse, they don't even work properly. The 'remove ad' link just refreshes the page but doesn't remove the ad. I am so ready to dump Blogrolling. I need to find another way to have a blogroll. I haven't really thought much about it before, but even if I have to have a manually edited blogroll it would be loads better.

I just tried the remove ad link again and it worked. That's a little better. A little. It's still too intrusive, I don't like it at all.

I know I can pay $20.00 to remove the ads but it's not worth it.
