Things That Are Trying To Kill Display Ads

So you used to find online ads interesting/useful and click before? I always thought at least tech literate people don't click on ads at all. I for one don't recall a single time I clicked on an online ad (mostly due to your reasoning that they are dubious.).

No, I can't say I ever did. And I don't think I said that. But from a time, where I might have been neutral and possibly interested in legit ads, the advertising has managed to create a strongly negative feeling, which usually then applies to the advertised products, even if they are legit.

I have clicked ads for Airtable, Tile, Clarfai and Amazon Products.

I have bought Tile, and Amazon Products and I have used Clarfai in projects.

If the ads are that useful I will click them.

Pay-per-click doesn't need to be part of the arrangement.
