The thing is these ads are not exactly effective either. I mean you'll read about the guru's with 90% conversion rate at 0.50c per click or some garbage like that but when you run them yourself, with what is considered a normal company (not a unicorn) you somehow find yourself with a <1% CR on most remarketing/tracking ads.

They are crazy cheap though and essentially act like a TV/Radio ad. It's about getting repeated exposure, even if it's not a direct conversion (because it never is). Everyone wants to get rich quick these days and highly customized ads appear to be the best way to get there.
