Sony has started pushing ads (links to paid content and games) to the homescreen of the PlayStation 4 , via the console's Featured Content app. This kind of practice is frowned upon by many users. Fortunately, there is a simple solution to opt-out of the display of featured content.

How To Opt Out of the PSN Ads
To opt-out of PSN ads, start by going to Settings > System > Automatic Downloads . Clear the checkbox displayed next to Featured Content - Automatically add download links for featured content to the homescreen to register your new settings.
