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.

    There used to be ads that took the form of games. I remember I’d be randomly browsing something like Marapets or some other Neopets knockoff and they’d show ads you can play, like I remember one where you could play as someone on a fourth story balcony dropping water balloons onto passerbies, and I’d think “wait, is this one of the site’s games? Will I get myself points from this game to pay off Jhudora with?”

    Now ads are just boring. Heck, where did all the i-frame veterans go?
