Just as the title says: Have you ever clicked on an ad, knowing it was an ad, on purpose? What ad was it? Why did you click it?

Curious because I realized I have not once in my life clicked on an ad shown online on purpose. Accidentally, and being tricked into clicking the wrong thing sure; never with intent though.

    Lots of times, sometimes they are quite accurate to what I am interested in thanks to spyware. If I haven’t installed blocker yet or it broke and I see these nice shoes or whatever so I click click click

      Same, especially for concerts and events in my city. It’s shitty to know how they target, but it’s put me onto things I would have otherwise missed.
