The article calls them ads but in the linked blog post Microsoft only calls them "recommended apps". Pretty big difference between the two. Every OS does app recommendations. Go to the search bar on your iPhone and you'll see recommendations there as well.
- two_handfuls 3y agoI don’t. Also, calling those ads sound correct to me.
- Shawnecy 3y agoDid the app authors pay for their apps to be recommended? If so, then it's still an ad.
- paxys 3y agoNowhere does it say that they did
- orwin 3y ago> Every OS does app recommendations No. I reinstalled a new OS when Ubuntu started putting text "suggestions" in my terminal, and ads are much more nefarious in term of resource consumption and attention whoring. The only reason i got through the hoops of installing a Fdroid was the google app store ads.
