  Yes, that’s not great, so ideally there’s an asterisk showing this…

  But if you look at the playing field as out exists today in advertising….

  It’s not really useable to change political beliefs or super authoritarianism.

  It’s not tracking you explicitly.

  It’s not profiling you.

  It’s relevant to what you’re already looking for

  There aren’t many scams you can run with it (except the locksmith scam)

  Soooooo, if I have to accept advertising, this feels on the tamer end.

  But I agree, it should be upfront.

    Apple do have a history of putting “Ad” next to anything that is an advertisement so hopefully they continue with that design pattern.

      and it’s common practice on other services like Yelp with sponsored results.
