Allowing online gambling ads has been a terrible idea.

Allowing ads was a terrible idea, period. It is not like those addicted to shopping feel any better when they see the next "must have" thing, or those addicted to food when they see something tasty.

They are probably the worst commercials dreamed up from the depths of frozen Canadian hell.

Nah. That would be the earliest ads ever created. These ads only look bad in comparison to other modern ads because we haven't had much time to hone skills in producing gambling-based ads. They will improve over time.
