How ads should work on chatbots, and why no one has built it yet

AI Analysis
○Pass
Thoughtful essay, but this is a blog post, not a product.
Strengths
- •Compelling narrative arc tracing search ads from Google's early days to chatbot monetization.
- •Specific historical details (GoTo.com, AdWords Quality Score, DoubleClick) ground the argument in real mechanisms.
Weaknesses
- •No interactive tool, demo, or verifiable implementation—just prose analysis.
- •The promised 'mechanism that fixes it' isn't materially presented, only hinted at.
Category
Target Audience
