Ad prices going up means that more money is being siphoned off by Google from the mental health care service industry.

It's unclear that this is ACTUALLY competition for the service or just competition for the ads. I personally would not do therapy remote unless I had to so any therapist I would be looking for would be local even if I have to do therapy remote in the short term.

The bit about ad prices is a little silly. If the price of chaise lounges went up it would also be siphoning money from mental health providers.

I have no idea what point you are making.
