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.

Yeah, I click them Steam sale ads all the time.

Turns out when the ads are for things I want, at good prices and without all the nag and malware, they're beneficial for both consumer and advertiser. Advertising used to be a useful tool for both parties.

But enshitification must continue.

Yeah I'm usually way more willing to click ads that are for something on the website I'm already on than for something somewhere else
