Nathan Miller explains why advertisers keep failing at scale: they launch ads and start over without learning from what went wrong. He outlines a four-step feedback loop: document your hypothesis, run the ad for a set period, record the results, then use those insights for the next ad. Repeat it and you stop making the same mistakes.
