On Tuesday, owners of devices featuring HTC’s BlinkFeed started to notice advertisements appear in their feeds. An official announcement was made to notify consumers that the service would be monetized in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Taiwan, and China.

Hit the break to see what BlinkFeed promotions will look like.

The ads, or “promotions” as HTC calls them, are tailored for users through Yahoo, Twitter, and Appia. HTC will also insert ads for its devices and accessories into the feed. They are native and that means users will see them blend in with content. HTC realizes that some people despise ads, especially on products that cost hundreds of dollars; therefore, the company does have plans to opt our of seeing them in BlinkFeed.

Not everyone in those markets will see the ads right away because HTC wants to test and analyze their effectiveness.
