No, the business goal is to lie, trick, cheat and steal, to fuck a potential customer over so they part with their money.

That the customer may not be satisfied afterwards doesn't matter - there are plenty of mitigation strategies, such as lock-in effects, playing off sunk cost fallacy, or drowning negative feedback on third-party sites with bought ratings, reviews and social media likes.

Seeing a site like this should light an immediate warning site in your head, telling you that you don't want to be on the business end of their business goals.

Their customers being ad companies
It sure is a good thing that externalities don't exist.
