I’m sort of saying two things, that’s what I get for playing devils advocate.

That’s how they’re getting away with it, by not interrupting content. I don’t think the masses are bothered by ads unless it interrupts their subscription content. If you put an ad on their App Store, it’s going to feel like another ad they just ignore.

For people who aren’t running an ad blocker, the ads become invisible unless they matter to them. It’s a weird trick but everyone can do it. That’s why people aren’t so bothered by the ad tech intrusions, they’re not even paying attention.

If that ever interrupts paid content, people will complain. But if you put it on the App Store, a little banner ad, it’s gonna be ignored, like it’s happening now.
