While I hate this tactic of pushing monetization more obviously down our throats, what real option do they have? Amazon has slowly been eating their lunch in terms of product sales (heck, they even piggy back off of Google Ads and rake higher margins) and people are willingly telling Facebook what they like and dislike, so it seems that the end is nigh for advertiser spend primarily going to Google Search based ads. In this case, the pie of "eyeballs" getting bigger, advertiser spend isn't rising commensurately, and neither Google Search's share (they're both still rising, hence Google's recent stock boom). I'm not saying I have an answer, but nobody is really providing a viable alternative for them.
You also have much better lighting and it appears that you're holding your arms further from your body/flaring your lats a bit. Not doubting that a lot of great work can be achieved in one month, but your photos don't have the consistency that lets somebody actually judge progress (and the changes you're reporting are more qualitative). I haven't reviewed your program though, so I won't try to give an opinion of that. But this sentence I find points to a big cause of achieving fitness goals, "My wife is an excellent cook and prepared perfect meals for me" -- eating healthy doesn't mean you shouldn't eat well.
