    who clicks ads in general

    have you ever clicked an ad (on purpose)

      I have never, not once in my life, clicked on an internet or electronic ad. Even for things I’m ostensibly interested in. Jury’s out on just how much manically SEO optimized retail web sites on Google count as “ads,” I guess. But other than that: Zilch.

      But someone somewhere must be clicking on them because billions of dollars are spent every year pushing the fucking things.

        I’m so skewed this direction that I’ll scroll past the sponsored version of the link in a Google search to click on the exact, unsponsored version. I don’t know why.
