What would be the point of showing an ad to someone without disposable income?
An ad for Pampers shown to a family with a toddler; an ad for Tidy Cats shown to a cat owner; an ad for Reese’s shown to someone who exhibits poor impulse control; an ad for McDonald’s shown to someone who works two jobs and doesn’t have time to cook food for themselves; an ad for a gambling app shown to someone using a gambling app.
You're presumably trying to imply it's predatory, but if the premise is that the person "doesn't have time to cook food", how is the ad making things worse? What's the person supposed to do? starve?
More generally, if the service is free, you're the product, and you're being sold to someone else
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.
