    Does the content and veracity of an ad change depending on where it is? Either you trust the source or you do not.

      Well, yes. That has always been the case, even before the Internet but now ESPECIALLY on the Internet.

      I’m not sure why anyone would trust an ad; at best it’ll be one-sided and at the worst it’ll be a downright lie. That wasn’t the point of my comment though.

      I just thought it was funny that a person getting their info from Instagram ads was telling someone else to go touch grass like they had any high ground at all.

        I just assumed that ad meant an ad from a campaign, not a commercial. The trust level for those vary depending of the source, of course.
