This wasn’t intended to be an ad. What’s circulating online was a part of our My Day feature, where after providing helpful information about your day, we sometimes call out timely content. We’re continuing to experiment with new ways to surface unique content for users and we could have done better in this case.
In the end, the “feature” was removed and Google Home stopped serving up ads for Beauty and the Beast. Unfortunately, the genie is now out of the bottle, and while the ads might not be as blatant or intrusive in the future, it’s hard to imagine Google ignoring this potential revenue stream altogether.
