      And they can still report that as ad delivery when that post is requested, even when the tag is no longer paid for

      I don’t know what to do to get good search results anymore if this happens. Using site:reddit.com has been the only way recently to find opinions from actual people regarding some product I’m considering. Maybe I’ll just stop buying things and go live in a cave. Can’t trust any information online anymore.
