like it's ABUNDANTLY CLEAR there's room for creativity on that site if you're a scammer

There was one product on Facebook that I would legitimately recommend because it's actually good, Paleblue. They're rechargeable batteries that are lightweight and recharge via USB-C, they don't drain as fast as other rechargeables and charge quickly. They're also smaller than regular rechargeables.

There are cons to those batteries by the way, you practically need a jeweler's screwdriver to remove the screws to the packaging and they are incredibly expensive, $25 for a 4 pack. Just an FYI if anyone considers buying them.

However yeah no it's a gamble to trust those ads, even with Paleblue I had a lot of hesitation. Rule of thumb is the shittier the ad, less professional, the worse the product. Like if the ad feels like it was filmed in someone's bedroom then it's a scam.
