False, it's whomever pays at all. I don't know if you've looked at online advertising costs, but their very affordable. We aren't talking super bowl ads.

mine is "whomever wants" unless you're arguing that online advertising is prohibitively expensive. I'd just have to disagree with that.

In your case it's "whomever is approved" which is a far, far cry from "anyone who wants".



Online ads use an instant auction to sell space. They literally are "whomever will pay the most", so no, not false.

Each ad placement is small cost, but your placement, frequency, and reach is absolutely dictated by how much money you spend.
