who would click that

who clicks ads in general

have you ever clicked an ad (on purpose)

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 53 points 7 months ago (9 children)

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've only ever clicked on one ad and that was for a cloud host I thought would be cheaper than Vultr. If anyone knows a managed k8s cluster cheaper than Vultr let me know plz.
