Exactly. Letting people know you have a product/service which will make their life easier isn't a bad thing, and you have to have some way of communicating that to prospective buyers. The problem is when you start lying about your product, or use psychological tricks to get people to buy something they don't need.

It's just easier to trick people and prey on psychological triggers than it is to make totally truthful ads and high quality, reliable products and services.

It´s very sad that Google basically has such a monopoly on online ads that people have to resort to creating their own ad platforms.

Maybe that's a space worth disrupting? Google is getting fat and lazy (but still has a scary warchest and resources).
