The first time I saw this was yesterday and I thought it was an April fools joke.

There's an opt-out in User Settings under Privacy & Safety.

acting like thatll stay an option is a pretty good joke

So the way that promotion is worded, if I stream "the finals" to a friend for 15 minutes I'm guaranteed to receive that item, shipping paid for and all, like in a quest? Or are they just baiting and entering you in a lottery?

Seems like an easy way to farm real life merchandise.

I don't think it's real merch it's in-game items

That does make way more sense. Though, the ad makes it seem like a (clothing) set and not a skin, but I've never played the finals so I wouldn't know.

Most of the "skins" in The Finals are actually clothing sets, each with interchangeable parts.

Vesktop client

Heh, so you're halfway there already.
Find which CSS class this stupid thing uses, hide it and bye bye forever.
Matter of time until someone makes a plugin to stop the client from fetching new data from these endpoints
