I mean that’s how adds work. If there’s no demand and people aren’t buying then they wouldn’t have money for more advertising. Safe to say it’s popular

I know that was a really stupid sentence lol. Maybe I’m just in a bubble. I just can’t fathom where all these people are who are desperate to have entire sites for this. It feels like it happened overnight one day and no one said anything or noticed. It just kinda makes me feel like I’m going crazy.

Sometimes that's not quite how it works. Right now, there's a gold rush in that space for customers. They want to sink their hooks into the most customers and deprive their competitors from doing the same. So they are really aggressive with the ads...like offering $200 in "free bets" for you and a friend you refer once that friend deposits/bets as little as $5. They may be frontloading their ad expense in the knowledge that any customers they acquire now will more than make up for it.
