    1. Stop complaining, sales campaigns work, but it cannot be your only way to sell! Messages campaigns always have been and will continue being the best way to sell! Put humans to answer the questions (not IA)
    2. I analysed 325 ads from two EV charging apps. Same product. Same "1 million chargers" claim. Completely different proof.
    3. Nobody warns you that scaling a peptide brand is mostly about the stuff outside the ad account
