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.

    Depends on what you classify as an ad.

    Ive started watching the series Long Way Round, which is essentially an ad for BMW.

    I click on steam sale ads for video games.

    When local stores have sales, they have ads for those sales on their websites which I click on from time to time - recently I was shopping for a soundbar and a local store was having a sale on soundbars so I clicked that ad on their website.

    When ads aren’t too intrusive, and they’re relevant, and they’re not peddling garbage I don’t have too much of a problem with them
