The adtech companies go so far as to nearly admit it! (fraud)

Short anecdote.

Several years ago I was running AdWords campaigns for a startup.

After several months and spending over $50K, I logged in to the AdWords
account one day to find a ~$15,000 credit.

It was described as a “click quality adjustment”

Also having looked at the sites logs, we knew the majority of the spend was
syndicated to click bots.

Unconscionable!

Cheers-Cam
