    That’s what really confuses me. They make bot farms that create a shitton of slope, which is then consumed by a shitton of bots, and these bot farms are making ad revenue for themselves.

    Who the fuck are these people paying for these ads and WHY? Bots ain’t gonna go to 7/11 and buy your snacks after commenting under your ads, and these 23 stray humans won’t make up for the costs.

      It’s not that difficult… you pay an ‘ad tariff’ on every product you buy which companies then give to ad companies. So long as the ad companies can fake views that they can show companies that ‘line go up’ everyones happy… except you because everything you buy is double what it would be without advertising being rammed down your throat!

      And the increase in product costs is just blamed on immigration, race or whatever other b/s people are stupid enough to believe. 🙄🤦‍♂️
