Re: So we're feeling bad for the ad slingers now?
I does seem like the ad business is a farce if there is no feedback in terms of increased business that customers can use positively correlated to the adds to increased profit. Without such a sanity check check how can it be determined how much ads with this or that company are worth?
Or maybe that is what happened, and all the customers did know and quit, losing a little bit each. Like a builder who takes on a lot of contracts and downpayments before word gets around that it is a scam.
