The thing is, they don't. They really don't. I hardly even notice them, like there's some kind of mental block that prevents the brain from perceiving the ads. Same thing applies to Google ads, I completely ignore them. Has anyone else noticed such behavior in themselves?

Me too, for the most part I'm almost totally oblivious to them. I don't even bother with an ad blocker. I suppose it's the result of being bombarded with ads all my life, I'm immune to their charms.
