I think it's a strong signal that they are a monopoly that they can treat their paying customers this badly yet still have them come back for more.

- LaundroMat 6y agoThis. Their ad interface has been a complete mess ever since its inception and the fact it has never received the attention the users' frontend gets, is indeed a suretell sign of a monopoly. "Good luck using a better ad platform with no users to target your ads to". The real alternative is simply not playing their game which is essentially an arms race with other advertisers anyway.
- Silhouette 6y ago"Good luck using a better ad platform with no users to target your ads to". That might be true for huge advertisers trying to reach mass-market audiences. For smaller businesses operating in niche markets, it is plausible that you can get better returns through other promotional channels that appeal directly to those markets, without needing all the nasty tracking or dubiously effective targeting that come with the likes of Facebook and Google. The idea that you "have to" advertise on the big, generic networks because that's "where all your potential customers are" is well out of date, at least in our experience.
