I imagine it depends on what's in the terms and conditions. I expect companies structure these to provide considerable flexibility. Plus, I'd guess it also depends on how you define what constitutes an "advertisement". For example, if Amazon/Apple/Netflix puts their newest show at the top of the "Featured" list, is that an ad? What if it is related to another show you watched? What if Facebook suggests trying a new shopping-related feature? To the company, and per their T&C, these may not be "ads".

> For example, if Amazon/Apple/Netflix puts their newest show at the top of the "Featured" list, is that an ad? Yes, if you can't disable that feature. They're clearly pushing it regardless of my preferences. > What if it is related to another show you watched? Yes, if you can't disable that feature because they are most likely pushing the cheapest crap they can that keeps me watching. > What if Facebook suggests trying a new shopping-related feature? Yes, if you can't disable that feature because I can't tell if they're just trying to be helpful or steer me toward something with higher margins for their benefit. If I can't opt out then it's an ad
