What is the Comment Response ad format?

A creator screenshots a real comment from their audience and records a direct video reply to it, keeping the comment visible on screen throughout. It feels less like an ad and more like eavesdropping on a conversation, which makes it perfect for answering common objections or curiosities that keep people from buying. Use it when you've got a question or pushback that keeps showing up — turning skepticism into social proof feels native and disarms guardrails.
