I rarely see them, have never clicked one.
I suspect very few people do.

My girlfriend asked me to whitelist her device on our home network so we can see those on Google as « she needs them to do shopping » Edit: typo
I've clicked on some IG ads before. They have good targeted ads, to be honest. I think I clicked on a game that gives you a mechanical representation of electrical concepts called Spintronics.
Bought a sweater I saw in an ad. Like a 70s style one, like it was the sweater that inspired both Tron and the Twister board game. Hasn’t arrived yet but I’m hopeful it isn’t complete trash.
Last year I clicked on an ad for a video game. The process was so clunky that I was better off Googling it and taking the link to its Steam page.
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.
For the Samsung galaxy s3. What a disappointment that became! Never again.
Google's and Meta's main business are ads?? I do doubt this! Their main business is hoarding data about you and everybody and selling that data to anyone willing to buy it.
Neither Google nor Meta sell data. The data is what makes the company valuable, so it doesn't make sense for them to sell it (otherwise, competitors could just buy their data). They keep all the data for themselves, to improve their ad targeting algorithms.
I might click on some sponsored results in Google search if it was the result I was looking for either way.
Fatty McFuckface (aka: Clive Palmer) was running non stop ads in Australia during the last election. Every ad I clicked through cost him a fraction of a cent.
I probably turned ad block off long enough to click on at least one ... I think
I scroll past the sponsored Google result links to get to the non-sponsored one that was "identical". I haven't intentionally clicked an ad in a while. Generally if I want to click an ad I just Google what I need to not need to. I use a pi-hole so generally I don't see them.
The internet has ads?
My Internet has Pihole and uBlock. I don't know what these ad things are.
Does pi hole help with chatty smart tv’s talking back to the mother ship?
I click on Instagram ads probably a couple times a week. Otherwise, not sure.
Advertisements aren't necessarily obtrusive or a bad thing. There are several content creators, Webstores, mailing lists, etc. that I'm subscribed to and whose ads I look forward to because I don't use social media but still want to be aware of new releases. I clicked on an ad from HYDRA + FOTOGRAFÍA that I got in my inbox earlier today
Intentionally? Probably when ads for Wheel of Time Season 2 started showing up and I clicked through to see if they had a release date.
Unintentionally through misclick? Probably yesterday
Unintentionally through deception? Seconds ago
Years. Hell, it's months since I've even seen one ... and that was just because sometimes when you start your browser a page will load before the adblocker is loaded.
I dont think I've ever click on an ad on purpose. I've clicked for mistake I closed right away. Never ever bought anything from an ad.
On purpose? I vaguely remember doing so once several years ago, but I don't remember what the ad was for.
On desktop I'm at no risk of accidentally clicking on ads because I have uBlock Origin, but on mobile, more specifically on the YouTube app, I'll occasionally accidentally tap an ad or "promoted" video.
If you use Firefox for Android you can install ublock. Also there are third party YouTube apps without ads.
Crossellers, sure. But actual ads, I cannot remember ever having voluntarily clicked on one. Not once in my entire >40 years of life.
There were some nicely packed boobs. I like boobs.
I just don't like if I forget to go incognito VPN and shop to buy something, then buy something, so I'm done shopping for it, but then see it non stop in adds for the next 2 months.
I ALREADY BOUGHT A DAMNED PAIR OF WORK BOOTS!
A couple weeks ago when I bought a new wallet. Which I’m very pleased with so far.
Every couple weeks, while playing solitaire on my phone.
It's never intentional. Fuck mobile ads
Never since I installed a program that prevents me from doing so by accident.
Recently had one for a world of Warcraft private server which seemed cool
I’ve been on the internet since before it had ads and have never once intentionally clicked on one. These days I always have at least one ad blocker running, so I never see them.
