I'm only speculating and haven't yet considered all the diffferent angles. But it could certainly explain a lot about ad behaviour... That behavior has to do with the ad servers and the number of ads that they are willing to serve to a person in a region in a day. Sometimes, I can go weeks without having to reset. Sometimes I have to reset every other ad. Times of day can effect it.

Sometimes the ad that is served has memory issues, especially the microgames or large video ads like movie ads, and freeze up the connection of the game to the server.

These are all issues outside of the control of FM. I also suspect that if they deliberately put things in their code that messed with the service of ads and forced Ad id resets, the Ad Servers would pick up on it and stop doing business with FM. I don't think it would be worth the risk, either reputationally or in player frustration, for the reward they would get. The players are already frustrated with the behavior, but it is out of FM's control to fix. They can complain to the Ad Servers, but that is about the extent of it unless the Ad Servers fix the issue.
