Google Discovery Ads Changed Ad Label With Sponsored Label

A couple of months ago, Google switched the search ads label from “Ads” to “Sponsored.” Now, Greg Finn noticed that the ads in the Google Discover feed and Google Discovery Ads label also changed from “Ads” to “Sponsored.”

Here is the new sponsored label side by side with the old (click to enlarge):
