Ads are often misleading though. You know, it "looks bigger in the picture" type of thing. If ads were honest, the hose hideaway my wife just ordered would have said "flimsy piece of plastic shit you will throw away after a year, but should get you through the summer".
How do you know that only a consumer that wants what an advertiser is selling would receive an ad for that product?

Taking money to decide which of the options to show is in conflict with the goal of showing the most appropriate.
