Are ads really that useful when the users subjected to them hate ads from the start?

Not to the advertiser, but to the one getting money for the ad.

How do they get money for an ad about a product I will never give a chance to?

[–] nnjethro@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Product pays Google to show you the ad
