When I worked as a waiter, we were supposed to tell the customers about the drink / appetizer specials before taking orders. This dialogue was in fact advertising as those were the high margin offerings at every restaurant.
In any case I think it's more analogous to ads for tv shows while you're trying to watch a tv show. The media you want to consume (news feed) has ads interjected in it, in order to get you to spend more time consuming more content.
Not really. OP was already an Instagram and Meta AI user. So, in the TV analogy, this would be like telling you about an upcoming programme, while you are watching a channel.
