Wouldn’t that increase the ad spend? You will need to show more ads to find your target audience

This would predominantly affect businesses where that audience is not trying to find that business.

Which sort of businesses are those?

    Monopolies

    • I don't think there's a connection there. If I'm not trying to buy a GPU at the moment, the situation re: GPU vendors being unable to reach me is unchanged whether they are one or many.

      I suspect it's gonna be clickbaity stuff, gambling apps, distractions and addictions... stuff we can afford to let suffer. If you're actually solving a problem that your audience has, they'll be trying to find you, you don't have to find them. There's a minimum amount of marketing necessary to be findable, but beyond that it's at best a waste of time and at worst a catalyst for other problems that we'd rather avoid.
