The interests of the ads department will eventually override those of the product team. Google used to have ads clearly marked on the right-hand side of the search results, now you have to scroll past half a screen's worth of ads to see the search results. Facebook used to do the same, now they jam ads and slop "Pages" directly into the feed. It's a when, not if situation.
