Implemented ads to be served to customers who had specifically paid for an “ad-free experience.”
- albertgoeswoof 8y agoHow did that work?
- wdr1 8y agoDon't call them "ads." Call them "promotions."
- wordswordswords 8y agoBingo.
- wordswordswords 8y agoThey were ads to upsell them on a higher level of subscription. The argument was that they were "promotions" from US, not advertisements, which were from a "third party." Of course, this is nonsense. An in-house ad is still an ad. When someone pays for an "ad-free" experience, we know they don't expect that they will still receive a full-screen modal popup, even if it is a house ad.
