- duggan 2y agoHardly, if done correctly, you're probably improving the CTR by reducing the number of ad impressions that would never result in a click.

- swayvil 2y agoImagine you're a mother, with a baby. Full of motherly love. High on bonding hormones and such. Breastfeeding. So nice. Now give that baby a chihuahua's head. Grotesque. And those teeth are sharp. But still, it's your baby. So you go with it. Now give the baby spider claws. Then 20 eyeballs. At what point do you reject your child?
