I'm pretty sure you are very unfamiliar with how ads actually work.

The best advertising is word of mouth advertising and smart marketers seek out people of influence in their communities to spread their products. This was well known in marketing long before the term online influencer was a thing. It's very hard for most people to even notice this kind of advertisement is even happening.

My first reaction when a friend tells me about a product is, that he/she must've seen it on social media.

- Do they actually own the product? - How long have they owned the product? - Show me how it works. - How much have you paid? Else it's worthless to me, but I'm happy for him/her
