Literally the Biggest Waste of Time on Planet Earth
Posted by on May 27, 2026 at 1:19 pmYes, yes, I know – use google ads editor. I'm just pointing out how absolutely useless this feature and the keyword suggestion feature is and just makes you sit there and twiddle your thumbs if you choose to use the browser.

and then it always bugs out

It’s the lesser evil.
The biggest waste of time is just working with Meta Ads. I have 32GB DDR5 and 2Gb/s internet and this shit is lagging harder than everything.

Why are you not writing your own headlines and descriptions?

I never understood the hype around the Google ads editor. It feels to me like that “try working on Mac! Is way better!” kind of thing.
And yeah, that AI gen text is crap, I generate texts first on another LLM then I paste them into asset groups, because the integrated AI doesn’t understand the logic behind my campaigns and spits out generic unrelated texts
-
I just wish they had AI generating FOR all parts of the ad experience. That would really brighten my day

Don’t put in the Final URL until the end and you won’t have to wait for it to generate headlines. It can’t generate headlines if it doesn’t have a URL.
Edit: typo

(Managing ads by accident). Google’s own UI for managing ads is far from efficient. Try to create a campaign with three groups targeting different audiences, keywords, assets. Good luck with that, good bye the evening. I personally adopted an AI assisted way of managing all ad groups (with own skills built around google ads sdk). Saves me hours.

Google Ads has so many little UI traps where the product technically works, but the workflow feels like punishment for caring about details.

Can’t remember the last time I created ads inside the ads interface. It’s been years.
Usually I use Google sheets & then copy paste into editor.
Lately I been supplementing with scraping the website and having Claude recommend ads for me in bulk.
However, I really don’t use the ads interface much at all.

You forget about the 5 time verification thing they have added for different steps while creating a new campaign. 🤡🤡🤡
