It’s not really ads, it’s more like "Sent from my iPhone"-style sentences at the end of PR texts.

If it only mentioned made with copilot that would be one thing, but it didn't just mention Copilot. It advertised a different third party app.

"Sent from my iPhone" actually is an ad when it’s the result of default settings. Furthermore, the ads in TFA are for Raycast, but apparently it’s not Raycast doing the injecting.

And everyone thought they were cool! Mac zeolots still put "Made with a Mac" on their webpages.

the difference is "sent from my iPhone" is on YOUR outgoing email. you opted into that default. this is copilot editing someone else's PR description with promotional text for third party tools. that's not a signature, that's injection. imagine if gcc started appending "compiled with gcc, try our new optimization flags" to your README every time you built a project.

  Disagreed. The default in iOS is to inject. The opt out procedure is to change your signature.

> It’s not really ads, it’s more like "Sent from my iPhone"-style sentences at the end of PR texts. The reason I immediately changed that text on my iPhone 1.0 to read, “Sent from my mobile device.”, is because it’s an ad. Still says that nearly 20y later. I’m not schilling for a corporation after giving them my money.

"Quickly spin up Copilot coding agent tasks from anywhere on your macOS or Windows machine with Raycast" is an advert. There's simply no better word to describe it.
