      This is much more acceptable when the product itself is cheap. See also: “smart” TVs for a hundred bucks.

        Adverts for BY D own products are still adverts.

        Truth hurts?

        Ok you do you.

          The adverts that I have never once seen when I drive my car?

          Pretty cool how we live in some parallel reality

          Or, you could just be full of shit

            Tech companies do something called A/B testing where they will release a “feature” such as Ads to a segment of the user base and not to the others to see how they respond to decide if they want to release it to everyone, so yes in many instances we do live in parallel realities.
