Tell HN: I never bought anything from clicking on a paid ad
Only people who make sausages don’t eat them. Only people who create news don’t trust them.
Not I. No idea.
I like clicking ads! I work and I have money to spend on things I like.
There are 2 things I don't understand.
1. Most online ads are illegal in EU, cause it's illegal to lie/mislead in an ad in the EU. The Tai Chi ads, the water pressure thing or the breezamax scams are all I see on Youtube, yet, they're obviously fake, and still running strong. How is it that they're not taken down?
2. The tai chi ad campaign must be costing millions of dollars. Everyone I know is seeing these fifteen times a day. Is anyone actually paying for that crap? Shouldn't Youtube increase the price of ads, so that they make more money and actually push scammers off the platform?
It doesn't make any sense
