Interested to know if anyone has ever clicked on an advert (on purpose) to buy some shit from the internet? And if so what was it? To me adverts on the internet are like flies hovering around your food, especially news sites.

Exactly. They try to make people that don't know much about Internet and the likes of them to click on their ads! It's a bit unethical if you ask me. There are other ways to advertise.

So....no. Never. Not. Even. Once.

Even when I see something interesting I google for it...

(And don't click the first "ad" results)

@aul12 if its the right page I click ad ones to support google. Every click helps / sometimes just to make ad owner to pay.

Cheap replacement battery for my phone. The store was actually pretty legit and I did buy it after checking the reviews.

If it relevant and I'm interested, I click it. Pays the devs a little, so I'm all for it

I've downloaded several games from ads and I bought a premium that unlocked stuff in one of them. I also bought some stationery from a shop I've found following an ad that was showed to me in a random site after I searched for an item without find it in other stores I knew.

A StackOverflow ad was how I discovered PyCharm.

Yes! I saw an advertisement for an under-the-desk bicycle and still plan on purchasing one. So, that's one advert in fifteen years or so?

I generally smack those pesky flies with my "AdBlock" fly buster. Some of them escape though!
