That's not what Stocks looks like - you scrolled down about two pages to get to the ad. You make it look like the ad is first. https://imgur.com/a/t7ncKoc

Oh yes sorry, I've edited my comment to add some context, I would stand by it is what Stocks looks like, as the app is Stocks and it looks like that. I did scroll just past the top stories to take the screenshot. I didn't mean to mislead at all, I do agree I did make it look like that, not intentionally.

Also maybe the add disappears for Apple News+ subscribers? I'm not subscribed to Apple News+ so I can't speak to that.

Cool, thanks! I use Stocks on a variety of platforms and never seem to scroll down far enough to see the ad, so I had to check to see why my experience was vastly different. I'm in the same boat as you without News+.

You don't have to scroll very far at all, there's an ad in between every block of news stories in Stocks, you only have to scroll once on any stock or the first news tab - https://i.imgur.com/ICX0w0I.png - this is just a tiny bit of scrolling on the APPL stock.

In any event, I am upset the advertisement is there at all.

Yeah, why does a first party app that embeds news stories, and not the official News app, have to display cheap clickbait interstitial ads?
