I wouldn't use a device like this for a lot of reasons, but the fact that what they are doing might be taking advantage of the incredibly predatory digital advertising system is neutral to positive for me, if I'm being fully honest.

If they were using the system to rip off random people, I'd be 100% against it, if they are fucking Google and the giant corps that advertise with them, ehh.. not my problem and can't be assed to care. Google is not a positive force in the world. Hasn't been for many years.

Wouldn't this ultimately make money FOR Google and only cost money to the company that placed the ad?

Sure, Google's paying but they get their money regardless.

It might damage Google's reputation with advertisers in the long term. I'm not convinced Google would even care about it, given their other behavior.
