Every ad is a recommended product. I don’t see why the distinction matters.

  The distinction matters when the advertiser is paying for the slot. Do you not see a difference between sponsored results in Google search that came via paid ads and the rest of the top results that came via their own algorithm?

    Your use of the word “algorithm” carries a heavy load there. What’s that algorithm? How do we know paid ads aren’t prioritized or monetized there? Where’s Microsoft’s promise on clear distinction for paid ads? Why does The Verge and Engadget call them “effectively ads”? What do you know that they don’t know?

      Both of them are reporting on the same blog post, which you can read yourself.

        Not an answer to any of my questions.
