In the economic world, both ad types display in conjunction with perfect content. Of course, that’s not always the case.
For instance, this osteopath’s video that helps shoulder exercise video probably falls under “health,” and maybe so do these ads for herbal remedies and MRIs. Of course, the chances of a user being interested in all three are slim.
