Lol, I got hit with this: "You're Temporarily Blocked: It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You’ve been temporarily blocked from using it."

Anyone using this may want to s/1000/2000/ on the first line.

I got this message once without even trying, I was just clicking the button for "see why this ad was shown to you" and it was always "You are in the USA and 18-35" which seemed pretty vague for very relevant ads. I never understood why they give the option if A. you don't want me to actually check B. you're not going to tell me how you knew I was in the market for a vacuum cleaner
For the facade of caring about user privacy - “look regulators, we even go so far as to tell you why you were shown ads!”
Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 2000
Safer bet: 5000ms.
