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.

    Admittedly I’ve clicked on a handful of interesting Youtube ads but not one in the past 5 years, so I can’t remember what they were. I just don’t really see Youtube ads unless I’m on a mobile device or I turn them on to help a creator get revenue, as I use a pretty strong adblocker on my PC. Don’t snitch to Google about that though.

    I’m a bit more sympathetic to Youtube ads since they are a revenue source for some of my favorite creators, as much as I hate the way Youtube goes about it. Never clicked on any other ads besides these though.
