on a random site and look what i see

as someone who works in digital advertising I can tell you thats know as “retargeting” aka you clicked on the ad or visited the site at somepoint in the recent past and your cookie is being followed. JP isn’t just throwing unity ads on rando sites.

HOWEVER, if you wana fuck with him keep going to his site and getting those ads so he’s spending ad money on a user never going to buy his product.

its likely a cheaper ad inventory site, so he likely doesn’t have his bids for ads set above a specific threshold

nytimes.com is hella more expensive than singletrackworld.com for example

Think of it as a bidding / user prioritization algo - if a users carts a product or interacts with an ad or does some kind of engagement their priority for an impression (ad served) goes up. However, there is whats known a “max bid” applied at the buying level. So while the algo will try and get the most engaged user at the cheapest price there is or at least should be a maximum amount they’ll spend per impression. What you could do is create a bunch of bots that register as different cookies and then have those cookies go to a bunch of low inventory cost sites thus making a bunch of fake users the algo just spent money on.

However, with all these programmatic ad campaigns there is usually (or at least should be) a max spend amount and max frequency per day/hour amount. So there is a cap applied to the spend. You could in theory eat the money on fake users but the amount of money spent in total is already dictated.

So as long as you can get those iP’s to read as diff cookies (I think you can?) and then make those cookies show up on low cost sites you can do some damage.

edit - if he’s got half a brain or decent campaign manager he should be using some kind of user verification technology that sniffs out what I just described but if he’s not (not a lot of small biz owners know about that kinda thing) he’s wide open to it

edit 2 - another way to think about it is site traffic value, if you flood the site with cookies that have no intention of buying the product the aglo will get confused on who to spend money on. It uses previous purchase data to define a the likelihood of a user to convert too. If you show it a bunch of traffic that doesn’t convert its algo weakens/gets confused/places the cost of a conversion above of the price of traffic.
