They don't really want to label ads as ads (no advertiser really does...); they're forced by regulations from multiple countries.

- adrianmonk 4mo agoMaybe I'm weird, but I believe in the theory that (all else equal) it's good for business to minimize how much your users hate your product/service. In other words, users dislike the feeling of not knowing whether things are ads. I can't see any real downside to labeling them, so you're better off doing it so you don't drive users away.
- pona-a 4mo agoThere's also the matter of brand reputation. You don't want to make your ads seem like your own or your user's public communications.
