100% agree, but they charge for eyeballs, not clicks.
That's because the average person is influenced by seeing the same shit over and over again, and it improves sales. Not every single person, just most of them.
Not most. Just enough to make it worth the money they spend.
"just enough to justify not paying their workers livable wages" FTFY
Depends on the age demographic and lifestyle. For example, I pretty much buy the same things for the last 20 years. I’m not going to change my shopping patterns because of an ad.
Clicks are the core part of how ads work… Cost-per-Click, Click-Through-Rate, etc.
