    Curious since I never used the official app but are these things opt in or opt out?

      I’m not entirely sure but I only changed settings when things bothered me and I never saw this sort of ad. I’m not sure if I even browsed popular before I changed some settings so I’m not an objective judge. My point is, users are not trapped with this sort of ad environment. You use classic view instead of card view and the ads get a little differently annoying. Not huge screen space gobblers but sneaky post-lookalike pests.
