Nonsense. "I don't click on ads, therefore online ads are useless" is not a valid methodology.
I buy Facebook ads for a niche audience. I can track them; the ads work and bring me business and put food on my table. There is absolutely no way I could advertise with traditional media; demographics like "males 18-24" is nowhere near targeted enough.
I don't click on online ads either. But then I'm just not the type of person that does. That doesn't change the fact that they work in a measurable way.
