In terms of cost of an ad to earnings, and how well, even a targeted ad, can hold a viewer's attention. Have we just become numb to ads? Does targeted advertising actually yield better results?

Have we just become numb to ads?

Online I use multiple browser extensions and settings to avoid showing ads. In the offline world there is no way to avoid them but I think I pretty much can ignore them.

I also intentionally do not buy anything I remember seeing an ad for.

I'm the same way, but I end up buying something similar. Show me Wendy's and I'll eventually go to Burger King
