Or it's just straight up hostile UI. They started camouflaging ads to blend in really well with random search results now! Infuriating.
Speaking of which... Don't you just love how changing the volume on your phone causes the audio indicator to overlap the button that let's you skip ads?
Ok now that you point it out that's gotta be intentional lol.
Behold, the wonders of the modern world! ...which we must constantly fight and remain suspicious of as they attempt to manipulate or screw us at every turn.
