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.

Have a look at Qualityland, it has (satirical) ads in it. The whole thing is a comment on consumerism

Well, advertisement is form of expression. I don't accept that kind of expression in general just like some people have food intolerance.

Is it really an ad if it's not actually trying to sell something though?

Is advertising art ?
