1. The inexpensive air conditioners I’ve seen online are the same ones “as seen on TV!” in infomercials.
2. The ads are at best exaggerations of what the product is and what it can do. It’s almost invariably a device that “cools” air by blowing it over a wet cloth or through a wet filter. In other words, it “works,” but not nearly as well as advertised.
3. Chiropractic therapy is regarded in the medical world as possibly being helpful in treating some aches-and-pains types of disorder. But some practitioners make claims to treat or even cure a host of organic disorders, including those of viral and bacterial origin. Which is to say that some chiropractors are ethical folk who can help in certain situations… but some are simply quacks.
4. In other words, whether the product (an air conditioner) or the service (chiropractic treatment) is a good thing or a scam depends on the claims made by the seller.
5. Online, commodities of a feather flock together. Ads for legitimate offerings often summon up other ads for worthwhile products… and junk offerings are aggregated with other junk offerings.
Am I over-interpreting this?
