Adwords Conspiracy :)

I have been monitoring Adwords results for a long time. I have seen businesses come and go and many affiliate tricks and methods, but what amazes me the most is the fact that Google has different rules for some and different for others.

For example:

1. Search for "smokeless cigarettes" and you will find a few review sites
promoting e-cigarettes while supposedly this is not allowed. So how do
those ads get approved while others don't?

Here is a link to a thread on Adwords forum:
AdWords Nightmare - I've been singled out and treated unfairly - AdWords Help

Here is another in a gambling market:
Disapproved ads. It's one rule for me, but another rule for the others. - AdWords Help

Here is one related to escort services:
My Ad keeps getting Disapproved and it has been over 2 weeks and I have money sitting in my account. Need a refund. Help - AdWords Help

I have checked out the last one and sure there is an ad targeting Chicago
IL area that has been running for months now promoting escort services. Sorry I won't post a link here

There are many other markets where ads are being shown while advertisers
supposedly are not permitted to run their ads there.

So I thought about what could be the reason why this could be happening, and one idea came to my mind is that Adwords employees could be running campaigns of their own. Just imagine the advantage they have. You can disapprove others while running your own campaigns and having no competition. LOL

I know this might not be happening but I am 100% sure that idea crossed their minds not once but multiple times
