Google Search now allows users to hide sponsored ads, giving them more control over their search experience and privacy. The update aims to improve user experience by reducing unwanted advertising visibility.
Discord is set to introduce sponsored ads on its platform in an effort to boost revenue, despite previous claims against using such ads. The ads will be targeted based on users' geographic location, age, and gameplay, and will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen. Users will reportedly have the option to turn off the ads in their settings. This move comes after Discord's revenue has quadrupled from 2020 to $600 million on an annualized basis. Discord's CEO had previously emphasized the importance of user privacy and safety, but the company has yet to publicly announce the addition of these new ads.
