I think as a child I got viruses from one of the ads, you know, the ones would put on the side of the site. We had to call in a guy, to clean parents’ computer. I felt really guilty and never touched those ads again.
So Google’s and Meta’s main business are ads. And recently I felt confused. Do people click on ads? Don’t these ads feel phishy to them?
Been a really long time I have actually clicked on an actual ad, unless we’re including closing the pop up thing every time you boot up Steam. I couldn’t remember the last ad I actually clicked on if we’re not including the Steam thing.
