@siracusa not being snarky, but are you color blind? Interesting potential accessibility issue.
I had to look at this screenshot 4 times on 4 different sites before I saw what "clearly marked" the ad as an ad: https://daringfireball.net/misc/2016/06/app-store-ad-example.jpeg …

@dmcalester No, but it looked "selected" or "featured" to me. Only thing that says "ad" is a tiny badge.

@siracusa How important actually is to know wheat you’re buying was advertised to you? DVD endcaps don’t have an “Ad” banner. What changes? -
@_ericx13 App Store search is so bad, it probably doesn't matter. But in general: "this is the most relevant" vs. "someone paid for this." - View other replies

@siracusa Right now it’s hard for someone to notice great apps among the sea.

@siracusa Really? Even if you miss logo Our (& your) minds are preconfig'd now to see 'normal' (White bkgrnd) & see whats not (blue bkgrnd). -
@WillBeech More on this on the upcoming episode of@atpfm. -

@siracusa it's pretty obvious though? -
@siracusa Usually agree with you, almost always in fact. But this is pretty obvious without being garish. For accessibility, not sure. -
@siracusa i scanned that picture so many times before I found the “Ad” tag, and I knew to be looking for an indicator. -
@siracusa not sure if it was your framing. But I noticed it immediately. Blue and [Ad] -
@siracusa I noticed right away. I mean it’s RIGHT THERE! -
@siracusa "Clearly marked as an ad" vs "clearly marked". Being a different color and at the top is not enough. The tiny "Ad" is not enough -
@siracusa hu. Half a second on my iPhone. -
@siracusa pastels are the "I'm still on the fence" of colors -
@siracusa are you saying its hard to distinguish one shade of very light blue from another ever-so-slightly different shade of light blue? -
@siracusa around 16x12 pixels -
@siracusa On first glance it looks more like it’s being featured (i.e. Apple recommends it) rather than being marked as an ad. -
@siracusa At the top. In a different color. Clearly marked "Ad" marker (similar to DuckDuckGo, just blue). Not bad.pic.twitter.com/X12ISMXl2I
