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.
I remember seeing an ad a few years back that said “Lower your phone bill with this genius device” or something equally inane and had a picture of a really old school 2 port USB hub that looked strange enough that nobody would recognize it as such. I’d long been curious about what these things actually advertised, so I clicked, just to find out where it went.
I was taken to a landing page about Cisco VoIP.
I’m not sure I envy the people trying to sell (or worse, be tech support for) VoIP phones to the sort of people who click on ad headlines that end with “With This One Weird Trick”
