Both yours and your sibling comments seem to be operating under the assumption that all advertisers are some kind of idiots

Advertisers have a perverse incentive to spend as much ad money as possible. I think this is one of the few scenarios where you can attribute something to malice.

No, I operate under the assumption that advertisers can scam gullible users.

From casinos, to shady inexistent job offers, to malware, there's a whole world of -ads- targeting the final users as a victim

    replying to myself bc i can't to @ujkhsjkdhf234

    on x.com (formerly twitter) if you don't paid for premium you get ads for drainers and scams on crypto etc too

    it's overall a mess tbh, I never trusted nor liked marketing or advertising, it's just lies in disguise.
