Microsoft Advertising - Corruption at the highest level

really wanted to give Microsoft a chance, but unfortunately, they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt to be an immoral and untrustworthy company. They offered $500 if you spend $100 on advertising, to which I agreed after years of leaving the platform. Not that it's a lot of money compared to what I was going to be spending on ads, but the fact that they reneged on this without even a review (they just sat on it and never answered questions about why we didn't qualify for it) was quite telling of the culture of deception. But I thought, ok ... maybe it slipped someone's attention, after all, I was going to spend thousands on ads per month. SO... I started advertising. The first thing I noticed in Google Analytics, is that the default advertising network was maximizing click spend on what appeared to be dubious sites, EVERY ONE had a 100% bounce rate, and 0.00 time on the page. What put me over the top was that after an investigation they said there was no evidence of click fraud. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. At this point, I was convinced that this was just a scam at the highest corporate level. Sad but true.
