Incredible. I can't imagine what it must be like to live inside their skulls. In all my life I have clicked maybe one or two ads on purpose, misclicked (either by honest mistake or through malicious design) probably five times, and never bought anything because of an online ad. The one ad that made think that I might use the service in question was a sponsor read for a PCB fabrication company.



I clicked and bought something via an online ad once. I needed a new jacket and the one in the ad was exactly what I was looking for. I overpaid because the jacket fell apart after a couple wears. The experience has definitely soured me on ads, even more than I was before. If marketers weren’t selling me overpriced junk I might have a more favorable view.
