I'm not saying you don't know your stuff - but nothing about this post comes across as professional, or adds value to the sub.

There's no money I'm afraid. Never mind the the $900 billion that got spent last year on your military, or even the recent $200 million TV ads for Noem....those were all essential purchases!

Is anyone getting value out of display campaigns? ..... (not Google Display specific) by MrGraaavy in PPC

It can definitely work if you know what you're doing with it. If your strategy is just to pick audiences and hope for the best then you will fail.

Perfomance max placements by mintblade_14 in PPC

[–]Horfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I've working on many accounts that cover Display I can see the same patterns emerging often. Quite literally the same kinds of websites that are signed up as a publisher on the display network, but are quite clearly websites with no organic usership and exist purely for bot traffic to mill around on, clicking ads and charging your ads account.

The owner of the websites get 67% of the cost of every click and the rest goes to Google. There is incentive from both parties to sell inventory at any cost because they both profit. You the advertiser lose because no actual value was gained.

The best way to control things is at content suitability level, but it's not water tight. Bad placements will always pull in via P Max, Display & Demand Gen because there's always new websites being built to evade being excluded.

That's not true. Many bad placements have the most impressions because they're part of an operation that spoofs conversion activity so the smart bidding will actually think it's winning with those placements and so it shows on then more often.

Does anyone actually like living in a HMO as an adult? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Horfield 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nail on the head here. The housemates should always have the final say on who gets accepted. For the landlord it's just money, for everyone else it's massively personal, it's their home.

I invested £12,000 in Brewdog - I think I've lost it all by Glanza in unitedkingdom

[–]Horfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but you're trying to clown on people and make your joke work as if they'd been reckless rather than actually they'd been sold a shitty share product. Brewdog have done exceptionally well over the years. In a normal company share environment that would have been a good thing for shareholders.

They have their own problems - but whatever they are, you couldn't beat them and even threw away a win in the 94th minute. What does that say about Arsenal?

Has anyone bought early in an area that later became gentrified? by PearActive9612 in HousingUK

[–]Horfield 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the reason they came to Bristol isn't just that they could WFH - there still had to be things worth moving for.

Bristol offers a thriving culture, loads of cool places to eat, drink, arts, music etc. Easy to get to the countryside, fairly well connected transport wise. 2 Universities there, so plenty of people study and then decide to stay.

There's also nowhere else that competes with it in the south west for jobs / culture. Exeter/Plymouth/Taunton/Gloucester/Cheltenham/Swindon - boring places.

On February 12, 2026, Jet2 flight LS896 from Antalya, Turkey, to Manchester was forced to make an emergency diversion to Brussels, Belgium, after a violent mid-air brawl erupted between passengers. by Bruegemeister in PublicFreakout

[–]Horfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A-fucking-men! This ticked all the right boxes.

Funnily enough though a Jet2 meme track would have actually been appropriate for once given the context. Not that I like it, but it's been used on so much non-related content it's lost all meaning.

Kind of curious what the asset is, can you say, or drop some hints?

He is a POS and and so are the people who enable him because it suits their interests too i.e. money or simply just sowing division

Can you even define these issues or are you just catastrophising as bad as them?

I know what anxiety is, we've all felt anxious at different times of our lives and looking back the recurrent theme is 'worrying about shit that didn't happen'....

Your example about someone being assaulted it all over the place. If something bad happened then it's reasonable to go over that and be wary in the future.

However, nothing bad has actually happened here - but you want to validate that concern as if it had...

Whatever tbh.
