Ever see that happen to someone else? My buddy paid for a "growth hack" ad push for his beard oil. They just blasted it to a huge, cheap audience of mostly women in their 50s. He got a million views and like, three clicks. Total waste because they never even asked who his customer was.
Wait, isn't the real problem the targeting itself? A million views to the wrong people is worse than zero. It's like advertising snow shovels in Florida. You get a big number that means nothing. Those services just want to show you a big view count so you feel like you got something. Your buddy's money paid for bragging rights, not beard oil sales.
