Well, it seems to be official now. Starting April 14, 2025 Google will update its Unfair advantage policy to say it is allowed to show the same ad, from the same company, going to the same page, as long as the ad is in a different ad location. Google was just experimenting with double serving ads earlier and now it is officially going to be allowed.

Oh yeah, completely forgot to list the destruction of aesthetically pleasing views with public advertising boards and the waste of lifetime spent on watching ads in my list.

Edit: also loss of life from depression and inferiority complexes caused by unrealistic life and body image goals in advertising

Light pollution makes me so sad. You have to get so far away from cities to not have the all encompassing glow of the cities to not affect your view of the sky.
