      The top of the entire starting page is an ad. You gotta navigate past it to get to your apps. It’s so engrained in your mind that you don’t even realize it’s an ad anymore.

        Aah that thing, ok yeah, you’re right. I guess I almost never see it because I’m showing family pictures when nobody is watching and then I press the YouTube button to open the SmartTube app.
