SnapChat: Ouija Advertisement

This week, SnapChat released its first advertisement on their app and freaked a lot of people out. It was inevitable that this would have to happen eventually. SnapChat has to make money somehow and advertisements is one of the easiest ways to do that, but I'm not sure if an ad for a scary movie called Ouija was the best first impression. The ad appeared in the recent updates of everyone's SnapChat and you could choose whether or not you wanted to watch it, so it wasn't too invasive to me. On Friday the company wrote in a blog post, "We want to see if we can deliver an experience that's fun and informative, the way ads used to be, before they got creepy and targeted."
What do you think? Do you mind having ads on your SnapChat?
