MODERATORS
This just isn't true, though. Obviously it's true of more savvy users and old internet fogeys, but cost-per-click on ads just is not all that high.
Billions of people do click ads. These clicks are worth in the realm of hundreds of billions of dollars. There's a big demographic gap here where half of users happily click ads all day long, and half actively avoid them. A lot of advertising is sneaky, too, it's not all a big banner with a legally required disclaimer, a lot of it the algorithm being 'adjusted'. So we probably all click a lot more ads than we care to realise
Just do any ad campaign on Facebook or Google, and with very little effort you can absolutely generate a lot of traffic.
People demonstrably do think that way, young and old alike.
