So what else is new.

If you work at Facebook or Google you're benefiting directly from the
similarly shady practices they used to grow on their way to being "pillars of
tech" today.

Do you remember when at LEAST 20% of Facebook's revenue came from Zynga? Like
less than 5 years ago? Many speculated it was considerably higher, but
Facebook never provided a full accounting (1).

Or do you remember when Facebook literally had an "affiliate marketing panel"
that they worked with at the C-suite level packed with guys selling weight
loss affiliate slop? Almost impossible to find reference of it now, was well
known in many circles and you can still see references of it here and there.
(2)

Or maybe when Google was caught colluding with a notorious gangster when he
turned state's evidence to demonstrate to the DOJ how quickly Google was
willing to skirt around laws to sell illegally imported drugs? They were fined
$500,000,000.00. Google was. (3)

50onRed is clearly engaged in scumb-bag advertising practices, but at least
they keep good company.
