Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising (www.techradar.com)

I was fully expecting this to be some blown-out-of-proportion nonsense, like a "Sign up" button next to a switch or slider in the settings menu for something that would pertain to Game Pass. Nope, it's a full block of the window dedicated just to an ad, not pertinent to any surrounding settings. Hella egregious.

Even if it was just a "small thing", how many "small things" that are all individually excusable has Microsoft added now? When would it be too much?
