True.  However being able to create and run my own pro-Trump ads, getting those ads over a million impressions, and generating 22 thousand clicks to Trumps campaign web site, plus the whole experience of gathering all that data, was well worth the few hundred bucks it cost.  I would have otherwise just donated that money to his campaign.  However now Google is acting as a gatekeeper whenever the ads are political, this is new for 2020 and fits squarely in their desire to control the narrative.  They may be satan, but they have billions of people using their search every day and it can be a very low cost of entry method of advertising for lots of businesses and causes.  I'm considering running "Q" ads, for example, and pointing the ads to threads on Voat :)
