Just know I saw this, because I would never ever visit freaking groupon. “Sponsored shortcuts” can be disabled in the settings . Bleh :(

    Can’t you disable it in settings? On android there is an option to toggle off sponsored shortcuts.
    I agree they shouldn’t force it on but at least with minimal effort and if it’s really annoying it’s easy to disable.

      Yes, you can. The same way you can disable a lot of annoying things in other programs. Still an annoyance at the expense of users, and a gateway to more passive users to click on something unexpected.
