This is the defacto stance of advertising agencies doing horrible things.
"OOHHHH, You mean you DIDN'T want ads on your coffee maker or vibrator??? Our bad. This was a technical error we will fix immediately!"
Back at the office:
So it seems people don't like ads on their vibrator which means they are viewing them. Let's wait a couple of years for the anger to die down then do it again.
They don't admit it's a mistake, call it an error, or try to fix. They call it a feature.
Vote with wallet
It's an "opportunity to see special offers."
They're aggressive parasites.
