Yes, it's an ad.
My point is, and I even edited the original comment so that it comes across better: "ads on instagram" implies third party ads much more, than fist party upsells. Another example is "Ads in Windows". The popup for OneDrive is much less egregious than Candy Crush, or tabloid news in the Start Menu. This is because, while the user asked for neither, some consent was already given for the first party, while no consent was given to the third party.
- ahoka 2y agoBut Meta AI is not Instagram, so it’s not even first party?
- npteljes 2y agoThe user gave their picture to Meta AI in Instagram previously, and Meta AI and Instagram have the same parent company, and the user also encountered the advertisement on Instagram. This is as first party as it gets, in my Hacker News submissions. Maybe not in legal language.
- lelandfe 2y agoYou rewrote your comment not to come across better but to make a different point. Your point was that this wasn’t an ad. Your point now is that you personally feel “ad” doesn’t typically mean first party ads. The former is wrong, the latter an opinion.
- npteljes 2y agoWhat you call an opinion is not my original point, and even if so, I don't understand what you are trying to say. Shouldn't I have expressed an opinion here?
- chillfox 2y agoI really don't see a difference between upsell and 3rd party ads. I stopped using Evernote (was a paying subscriber) because I got annoyed by constantly having ads for their other services shoved in my face.
