kind of an interesting question -- are product nudges ads? like when there's a button to use a paid feature which pops up on top of a different button, is it an ad? it's not third party.
- rainonmoon 2y agoWhen a TV network airs promos for its own shows, is it an ad?
- Brian_K_White 2y agoYes.
- p1necone 2y agoI remember being utterly baffled by this as a kid at other peoples houses. "Let me get this straight, you pay a bunch of money for 'special' TV channels that say they have no ads, and you still have to watch ads? What kind of insane horseshit is this?". Put me off non free to air TV for my entire adult life until streaming services became a thing, and you better believe I'm immediately unsubscribing from those the second they pause a video I'm watching to show me promos or ads.

- LorenDB 2y agoYou'd call it an ad if you saw it in any other context, so yes.
- Ferret7446 2y agoThe definition of "ad" depends on context though (that's the point).
- RileyJames 2y agoI’m sure the advertising industry has a specific term and definition for this type of ad. On that basis, I think it falls squarely in the advertising category. I’m sure someone that works in that industry can drop their knowledge on it.
