The complaint appears to be “they won’t take down freely-licensed content when we decide we want hosting without their ads”, i.e. a lack of understanding of what free content means, let alone what “subsidised hosting” means (“how dare they make money from providing hosting free to us”). The ads are garish, it’s true. But the incomprehension fits with being apparently unable to do such hosting themselves.
I wouldn’t say that. That’s certainly one of the complaints. But there are other complaints as well, such as the heavy-handedness which Wikia has handled issues related to general Skins and advertising, and a refusal to remove specific ad types which might be offensive to the wiki in question. The heavy-handedness is a real issue and has caused actual, substantive departures from Wikia (the fracturing of the WoW Wiki would be the most prominent such example).
