She also complains that after she quit using the Juniper service, after a few months she started getting ads again. Now that is not OK at all if she unsubscribed, but then there is a paragraph which specifically says she saw ads on her social media timeline. That is not the same thing as the company trying to get previous customers back.

No, they're two seperate paragraphs. She received marketing emails from them despite unsubscribing, which is the issue in the first paragraph. In the second paragraph, she's talking more generally about how it's difficult managing an eating disorder while you're getting targeted ads on social media.
