This may just be QA verification, or it may also involve a bit of code. It should also work on double-wide list items, if those are implemented by the time this is done.

I dunno if this is needed for MVP, but I do think it's something on Nick's mind.

This might be easier now than I initially predicted, it might just work if the server were to pass spoc probability and position info into the component via the layout. Super low hanging fruit here, with pretty high gains.

Nick, is there a clear decision on SPOCs in the MVP for 66 for lists?

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:

Here's a link to the Figma spec for SPOCs

How to test:

1. go to about:config
2. search for discoverystream.config and set preference to {"enabled":true,"show_spocs":true,"layout_endpoint":"https://gist.githubusercontent.com/punamdahiya/4852948f6b24e1a82f4cc2f107ddc234/raw/7e54aa261eeeb718b94a55965b1da28348df93dc/feed.json"}
3. Open new tab and search for 'sponsored' text in list items and verify spoc items show up in list.
