First, shame on whoever did this. It just makes it easier for advertisers to corrupt ad-supported media. Advertising is all lies.

Second, A/B testing. It occurs to me that A/B testing exists because nobody has any confidence in their ability to predict what ad, or even what kind of ad, will work. To end up with an ad that works at all, you must do the ad design empirically, with A/B testing. Therefore, anyone who says that can do ad designs is mostly lying to us.
