I wish that ad math was correct 
The initial idea behind the boost ads was in a response to players asking for ways to get the boosts some other way than paying $$$.
Initially we started out by giving boosts via our message system but found that as our player base grew we had to send more and more messages each time we sent out those messages and players that didn’t have a dq account set up would never get those messages.
So with the video ad system in place every player has a chance to get the boosts and it helps support us as well, which we thought would be a win/win situation.
