You think no company would use that name? Seriously? The point of using name like this is that companies harvesting profiles will not be checking the profiles manually, they would have automatic software doing that, and unlike human, this software would not be able to recognize anything weird on name like this. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 10:18, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

I think that it generally goes that the automatic name-searcher things (or whatever the hell it is they're called) have some sort of rudimentary filtering system to avoid picking up spam accounts and the like, but I wouldn't know that much. Besides, if these ads are going to be designed by humans (we haven't made ad-designing robots yet, I hope), then there's going to be at least one person in the loop to check this sort of stuff.[[User:CrizBN|CrizBN]] ([[User talk:CrizBN|talk]]) 12:02, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

:"we haven't made ad-designing robots yet, I hope" -- it's a thing. https://old.reddit.com/r/TargetedShirts [[Special:Contributions/172.69.35.51|172.69.35.51]] 08:47, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 
 
 
: A human would design the advertisement and leave a place for the software to put the elements (name/picture/etc). The software would later present the add putting in account info either at random or of people believed to be connected to the viewer. The human designing the ad would likely run through a number of test cases, but in a large data set may never notice 'poisoned' credentials. HTH.
