The "it is not ad, it is recommendation" thing is just pissing me off even more. A lot of companies now pulling that stunt.
For example I bought a TV that has a good OLED panel. That TV outright had shown me popups while I am using it, "recommending" I install specific apps or watch new season of a specific TV show. And it is "recommendations" because on the EULA I said I don't agree with ads.

- speeder 4y agoProblem is they charge through the nose for these. I looked into it, the price was just ridiculous and unrealistic.
