lol "aDs No WoRk". i spend $1 it turns into $5
That's the main thing why I don't run ads. Once market saturates you're spending $1 to make $1.05 to $1.20 so 5 cents to 20 cents profit for example. Basic economics means the profit gets pushed to zero. Right now I take home 100% of the money with 97% profit (non-AI) and 87%.
