Our account was suspended before we even had a chance to run afoul of Meta\u2019s rules. #ZuckSucks<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cWhat does this mean for me?\u201d you\u2019re probably thinking to yourself.<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ll get there, we promise.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Mark Suckerberg hate exorcisms?<\/h2>\n<p>Before we evaluate the implications of this promotional interdiction, we need to dive deep into the background of Mark Zuckerberg to see if anything in his personal history might allude to a grudge or bias against exorcisms or exorcists like us.<\/p>\n<p>Born into a Jewish family in White Plains, New York, Mark has at times declared himself an atheist while also acknowledging the importance of religion.<\/p>\n<p>He did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/technology\/archive\/2016\/08\/pope-francis-meets-with-mark-zuckberg\/497819\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meet with the late Pope Francis<\/a> in 2016, but the pope was not able to convert the tech mogul during that visit, at least according to reports. His Holiness also passed up the chance to perform an exorcism on Zuckerberg\u2014even a quick one\u2014during their time together. (We can\u2019t say that our very own Father Olor Fresco would be able to exert that kind of self-control given the opportunity.)<\/p>\n<p>Without additional evidence, we can only conclude that Zuckerberg is likely <strong>neutral<\/strong> on the topic of exorcisms. Moving on&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>What is Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s favorite horror movie?<\/h2>\n<p>Several credible sources like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mark-zuckerberg-likes-2012-5#he-also-enjoys-brad-pitts-movie-moneyball-not-surprisingly-zuckerberg-also-likes-star-wars-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Business Insider<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/memorizer.ai\/fr\/collection\/movie\/mark-zuckerberg-s-top-10-favorite-movies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Memorizer.ai<\/a> have published commentary or all-out lists of some of Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s favorite films. In sum, those articles paint a picture of Zuckerberg\u2019s movie tastes, and that picture is telling.<\/p>\n<p>Included in these lists are movies like <em>Moneyball<\/em>, <em>Iron Man<\/em>, <em>The Dark Knight<\/em>, and <em>Django Unchained<\/em>, all great in their own right. He is also reportedly a big <em>Star Wars<\/em> fan, likely on account of the undeniable resemblance between himself and <em>The Emperor<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What is noticeably absent from all of these top-10s is a horror movie of any kind. Even more notable is the absence of an affinity for the greatest film ever made, William Friedkin\/William Peter Blatty\u2019s <em>The Exorcist<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Zuck seems like more of a <em>The Ring<\/em> guy, or maybe even <em>The Amityville Horror<\/em> (the 2005 Ryan Reynolds remake, not the original). We can surmise that one of these inferior horror films probably is on his list somewhere, but just not in the top 10.<\/p>\n<h2>So why is Odor Exorcism banned from advertising on Meta ad platforms?<\/h2>\n<p>After this scholarly evaluation, the only conclusion we can come to is&#8230;<strong>we don\u2019t know.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s an unsatisfying end to this journey, well, join the club. <strong>Maybe Zuck just sucks. <\/strong>(To be clear, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Careless-People-Cautionary-Power-Idealism\/dp\/1250391237\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we wouldn\u2019t be the first to levy that accusation at Zuckerberg<\/a>, and we probably won\u2019t be the last.)<\/p>\n<p>What we do know for certain is that we have been banned from spending money on the Meta advertising network&#8230;a judgment which is final and for which there is no appeal.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not like we really <em>wanted<\/em> to contribute to Zuckerberg\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/mark-zuckerberg-inside-hawaii-compound\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hawaii bunker<\/a> fund. Far from it. If we had our druthers, we would go back to theses nailed to doors as our primary means of advertising.<\/p>\n<p>But when running a consumer packaged goods brand in 2026, social advertising is a reality and a necessary evil. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit are where the eyeballs are&#8230;so that\u2019s where advertisers (like Odor Exorcism) have to spend their time\u2014and money.<\/p>\n<h3>Which brings us back to the original point of this whole announcement&#8230;what does this promotional persecution mean for <em>you<\/em>?<\/h3>\n<h2>It means we\u2019re slashing prices across the Odor Exorcism portfolio of natural odor eliminator products!<\/h2>\n<p><strong>That\u2019s right:<\/strong> unlike the giant multinationals who up-charged you when tariffs were implemented and then <em>didn\u2019t<\/em> correct prices when those same tariffs were repealed, Odor Exorcism is passing the savings onto you, the consumer.<\/p>\n<p>You see, the burden of modern advertising obviously comes with a price. That price is generally referred to as a CAC, or <em>customer acquisition cost<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Odor Exorcism originally set its prices with a target CAC in mind. Now that it\u2019s been determined that we can\u2019t advertise on Meta (and we\u2019ve sworn off Google as well, since a recent ruling concluded that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/department-justice-prevails-landmark-antitrust-case-against-google\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google has rigged ad auctions<\/a> for nearly a decade), we no longer have a CAC to worry about.<\/p>\n<h2>Zuck sucks, so you SAVE!<\/h2>\n<p>Isn\u2019t that great?
