Are we accepting this now? I just plugged my phone sideways on a stand and I got ads. Nice Apple, thank you.

That’s not an ad. It’s the App Store storefront. You have the App Store as a widget in standby mode. It did that because you may have recently used App Store.
All you have to do is hold your finger on it until you get into edit mode, and then tap the minus sign to remove it. More info here:

By the way, that's an ad. You can call it appstore widget but its promoting apps. Before it was showing that cancer inducing "game" of clash royale and i never installed a game on my iPhone.
Anyway, the widget appeared by itself without asking me, and its primoting apps, that's advertisement.
An advertisement strongly implies some sort of payment. This is editorial content.
it's pissing me off anyway. It's promoting something that I did not setup or asked. I don't want to know what are the most thrilling games on the appstore (and I bet all this games have either a pay2win or pay2play option, where apple gains their 30%)
