Does anyone ever click on ads?

no but apparently lots of people do

my nan does, it broke her PC

if I see something interesting, usually only google ads, I might open it in another browser and I usually cut the referral link off (is that rude?). But this is very very rare 3 times a year max.

If its relevant, and I could use the info. Why not?

I rarely do and when I do it’s only from trusted sites for ads that I also “trust” as a company. (I.e. I never click on an ad from a company I know nothing about)

Usually only when I’m shopping online. Never display ads though, they’re super annoying.
