Facebook and Instagram have just banned the service from their platform.
According to the BBC, Facebook is so hostile to the Spinner that it's even sent the company a formal cease and desist.
A Facebook spokesperson told the BBC:. We have no tolerance for bad actors that try to circumvent our policies and create bad experiences for people on Facebook.
It's not clear how popular it is - nor whether its crude concept of persuasion even works as advertised - but Facebook's ban might inadvertently give the service the precious oxygen of notoriety.
The Spinner never promised the ads would appear specifically on Facebook or any other ad network.
