    I'm sure your potential advertisers love it when you intentionally limit views of their ads on your platform.

      They can probably spin this as a net positive to engagement honestly. Since this makes it much harder for bots to operate, it means ad views are more likely to be humans. Since humans can also now only view so much content a day, they could say that it's more likely for them to engage in advertising content because they have nothing else to engage with.

      We all know that's all total bullshit but it sounds good so marketing execs will eat it up
