Even that shouldn't be illegal. It's shitty, but it's still too far

What should be illegal here is the kind of misinformation, if you permit some ads and allow others, you're an advertising agency and should be upfront about it. If your whole business model is "I hide ads" but you only hide those ads that didn't pay you, that's false advertisement.

Sure, but that gives end users standing to sue, not these guys
