The following is the official reason why Google banned the B.R. Cards ad campaign from the Google Ads platform. It took a few clicks to get to the link, but here's what the company explained to yours truly: Ads that potentially profit from or exploit a sensitive event with significant social, cultural, or political impact, such as civil emergencies, natural disasters, public health emergencies, terrorism and related activities, conflict, or mass acts of violence. Examples (non-exhaustive): Appearing to profit from a tragic event with no discernible benefit to users; price gouging or artificially inflating prices that prohibits/restricts access to vital supplies; sale of products or services  which may be insufficient for the demand during a sensitive event; using keywords related to a sensitive event to attempt to drive additional traffic. Ads that claim victims of a sensitive event were responsible for their own tragedy or similar instances of victim blaming; ads that claim victims of a sensitive event are not deserving of remedy or support Examples (non-exhaustive): Ads which claim victims from certain countries were responsible or deserving of a [...]

There has been a lot of new traffic on the site recently, which means many new potential customers, and a few new readers. So it should be noted that Google has now allowed us to run our ads on the platform. Just as the trillion dollar global corporation arbitrarily decided on Oct 25 that the U.S. election was a sensitive event that demanded the silence of political functions in ad space (even if those political functions are actually small businesses producing playing cards commemorating the historical reality which was the Republicans in the Senate circling their wagons to protect Dear Leader from abuse of power charges in regards to blackmailing Ukraine for manufactured information regarding Joe Biden's son, Hunter), so they decided that on Dec 10, their responsibility of keeping an online nation chill can be called off. Which is very sweet of them. E-commerce is a new gig for me, and I'm lucky to have Webmaster Mike on my side. Without him, these first 10 days of Google would have drained the company. I won't get too much into [...]

Thanks to Google being a bunch of cockblocking assholes, sales haven't been as brisk as I had imagined they would have been. But sales have been consistent, and the feedback has been strictly positive. And despite our inability to advertise to the mass public, today the company received its first ever hate mail. It appears to be directed towards me as Sole Member rather than the company for which I am its sole member, so Frank shouldn't worry about it. Google's AI appears smarter than the Google ad department, although the correct answer is D: No, but I am Jewish. But Google should know as Google continues to be the smartest. They run the whole wide Internet and have declared the election to not being over. Like the Japanese warriors on Gilligan's Island, this election isn't over until Google says it is. American law and the Gregorian calendar may have declared the election officially over on November 3 at 7 p.m. local time, unless there are some extenuating circumstances be damned. It can't be said enough. This company and its [...]

What do I know about Reddit? Arguably, not much. I've used it to watch streams of ballgames that were otherwise blacked out in my broadcast region. I also know that they hid behind 1st Amendment rights when allowing folks to post pro-Nazi hysteria. They got filthy rich doing that for a decade. Reddit says that my cards are too political for them to allow me to advertise, too. Then in the next paragraph, they wrote that if I had $50k to spend, they'd overlook the political aspect of my cards. What a flexible batch of libertarians. I did everything I could to not tell Reddit to fuck off and eat a plate of dicks, even though that's right up their alley. Instead, I decided to reason with them. I wrote, "Just because 52 Republican senators circled their Leader and didn't allow the Constitution to protect our country from an unhinged Commander in Chief doesn't mean that I'm the one using politics. I am registering history. It's historical that the Republican Party did what it did on February 5, 2020." Of [...]
