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 once or twice. Usuallly to buy some cheap knickknacks that are shiny or that I think are cool.

    i.e. I bought some Pokémon badges off a Facebook ad years ago.

    My wife likes to click on ads she sees on instagram for products for presents and things. Stuff like a sunflower necklace that opens and says “you are my sunshine” on the inside of it.

    She seems to actually like targeted ads because she is always looking for presents and things for people. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
