I think the copy is fine. It would be nice if they presented the second option more fairly (E.g. "Larger ads but outside of your typical workflow") but it's understandable that they push you towards inline which must be more profitable.
Nonetheless, I appreciate that they give you three options (inline, sidebar, paid no ads).
Imagine having that option on Google Search?
- Sophira 5y agoThe copy is extremely manipulative. They're playing on the idea that users will think "Bigger ads? Why the hell would I want bigger ads? This is obviously a trick to try to get me to click that.", when in actual fact, Microsoft don't want that. The choice is actually between having ads show up as faux-emails (making them difficult to avoid) and having them show up on the side (making them easier to ignore, despite the "Bigger ads" copy). They want you to pick the option where you don't have banner blindness.
- mannerheim 5y agoThere's a third option here. And arguably a fourth.
