We all know that smartphone manufacturers have to make a buck. If they didn't we'd consistently see razor-thin profit margins and no bloatware or carrier agreements. While we understand that making money is all part and parcel of the Android ecosystem, sometimes a monetization strategy comes to light that has us all in a tizz. If a new leak is to be believed, such an occasion might be on the horizon with HTC Blinkfeed, surrounding the inclusion of sponsored app content and self-promotional ads from HTC.

The hole comes kindness of @upleaks, who uncovered what has all the earmarks of being a slide from a HTC guide specifying strides on the way to the adaptation of Blinkfeed, HTC's committed home screen that shows news content from around the web. The remarks on the Twitter post were regularly very forceful, however, can anybody censure HTC for attempting to make a buck where it can? We all acknowledge advertisements in our Google List items all things considered.

We reached intent on HTC however the corporate declined to investigate any approaching plans for Blinkfeed. It stands to reason but that the corporate would possibly look to get some financial gain from a feature that has got to value HTC cash. All that licenced content that seems in Blinkfeed must come back from somewhere – and somebody must purchase it.

The slide – that hasn't been verified – shows a ballroom dance approach to Blinkfeed's future: to feature sponsored app content and second to show HTC promotions so as to market sales of HTC merchandise and services. we have a tendency to already suspected that Zoe can eventually be monetized, thus it does not surprise US that HTC may be considering an equivalent approach for its news feed service.

What does one think about this move? what's ''good'' substantiation and what's ''bad''?
