@GossiTheDog Where else would they go? Ads lead to the place where you can buy the thing.

Not defending. Its a terrible feature that I will disable as soon as possible. But the bait headline made it seem like they were much more than ads.

@rektdeckard I'm not sure how, it's pretty clearly about the store

@GossiTheDog it's just like, duh apps are executable code. They're advertising apps. Deep links are nothing new. It is not surprising that an ad, on some platform, would open within a specific app.

Focus on the journalistically important things in the headline.
