Maybe the best analogy would be speed running a video game and then suing the developer because you didn't get the "estimated playtime" listed on the box. You're abusing the product, it will not perform to spec.

Just to correct the analogy, it’d be the person speed running describing what they did in an article and the developer suing them.

So your spec sucks...

If you have the requirements that in no case your ads should be shown with content that you don't like but it happens at least twice.

You have a buggy mess of an unfinished software.

Oh wait that the game industry right now...

Social media is a really poor spec, to be fair.
