This is the only kind of ads that Apple has in their entire ecosystem. The only application appears to be for app competitors to buy ad space. I’m not sure why you make this out to be a weird exceptional case?
- Grustaf 5y agoI'm not saying it's a weird exceptional case. I'm saying it's pretty normal and expected that you are able to buy ads when people search for competitors, why shouldn't you? I'd say that's the _least_ deceptive ad you could possibly buy. If you buy ads for the search "best video app" then some people might think that the tiktok ad was an organic result. But if you buy an ad for the word "Spotify" then nobody will be "deceived". I don't think ads should be allowed at all, in any context, in any medium, but if they are, then I don't see any reason to make competitor names off-limit.
- yunohn 5y agoI’m not sure why you’re arguing this particular way, but I guess there’s not much left for me to say. You can believe what you want, but I don’t think most people would agree with this line of reasoning.
