I understand this, and believe it's true, but: gmail mobile has a full page ad asking you to download the app. I'll be surprised if Google block it.

There's a difference between a site willfully destroying UX on mobile versus including a third party's paid content.

Reddit mobile also has a full page ad asking you to download the app. I also doubt Google would block that. Nothing to do with it being "Google".

I personally don't see a difference. They are putting a notice up that is trying to entice me to "buy" something. Why does it matter if it's from a 3rd party or not?
