Most users tend to complain about flying, pop ups, auto playing audio/video. Google does none of that. So is there a real benefit here?

On mobile, I get exactly these kind of ads in-app. Flashing yellow and red, "Scan your phone", "Speed your phone", "Phone virus?!" and crap like that. Always links direct to appstore for some home screen or launcher that requires every permission. I reported them for a week or so then gave up.

I don't think those are being served by Google which is what the parent was referring to.

I like the way amazingribs.com does it, a bunch of bbq geeks who mostly only show adverts for products they have reviewed and liked.

Went there to check out the ads, stayed for days looking at the food. Help! I'm buying new barbecue gear in late September!

Discovered it a year ago, I bought a weber and a thermapop a week after, the reviews are great!
