To me this reads as the common blabber/gossip, we are used to hear from 
marketeers - They all pretend to their stuff was "fair" and "interesting".

These people haven't realized the "in-app" "ad-model" is a dying 
species, because user are tired of being molested, cheated, exploited 
and being spied out.

Harsh words, I know, but that's just what I think about it.
