I'm not sure why anyone would trust an ad; at best it'll be one-sided and at the worst it'll be a downright lie. That wasn't the point of my comment though.

I just thought it was funny that a person getting their info from Instagram ads was telling someone else to go touch grass like they had any high ground at all.

I just assumed that ad meant an ad from a campaign, not a commercial. The trust level for those vary depending of the source, of course.
