Last year I clicked on an ad for a video game. The process was so clunky that I was better off Googling it and taking the link to its Steam page.

I rarely see them, have never clicked one.

I suspect very few people do.

I've clicked on some IG ads before. They have good targeted ads, to be honest. I think I clicked on a game that gives you a mechanical representation of electrical concepts called Spintronics.

Been a really long time I have actually clicked on an actual ad, unless we're including closing the pop up thing every time you boot up Steam. I couldn't remember the last ad I actually clicked on if we're not including the Steam thing.

A couple weeks ago when I bought a new wallet. Which I’m very pleased with so far.

I might click on some sponsored results in Google search if it was the result I was looking for either way.

I scroll past the sponsored Google result links to get to the non-sponsored one that was "identical". I haven't intentionally clicked an ad in a while. Generally if I want to click an ad I just Google what I need to not need to. I use a pi-hole so generally I don't see them.

The internet has ads?

I’ve been on the internet since before it had ads and have never once intentionally clicked on one. These days I always have at least one ad blocker running, so I never see them.

I click on Instagram ads probably a couple times a week. Otherwise, not sure.

Intentionally? Probably when ads for Wheel of Time Season 2 started showing up and I clicked through to see if they had a release date.

Unintentionally through misclick? Probably yesterday

Unintentionally through deception? Seconds ago

Recently had one for a world of Warcraft private server which seemed cool

I’ve clicked on ads (primarily Instagram actually) because it is an ad that is for a product or service I was actually looking for but didn’t have the time/knowledge to actually go searching for it

On purpose? I vaguely remember doing so once several years ago, but I don't remember what the ad was for.

On desktop I'm at no risk of accidentally clicking on ads because I have uBlock Origin, but on mobile, more specifically on the YouTube app, I'll occasionally accidentally tap an ad or "promoted" video.

Years. Hell, it's months since I've even seen one ... and that was just because sometimes when you start your browser a page will load before the adblocker is loaded.

For the Samsung galaxy s3. What a disappointment that became! Never again.

I dont think I've ever click on an ad on purpose. I've clicked for mistake I closed right away. Never ever bought anything from an ad.

There were some nicely packed boobs. I like boobs.

Crossellers, sure. But actual ads, I cannot remember ever having voluntarily clicked on one. Not once in my entire >40 years of life.

I accidentally clicked in a ad in the past week. Does it count?

Been a long time. The last time I got affected was via a Shockwave/Flash banner ad for the movie "Moulin Rouge," which dates this story. It's not so much that I clicked on it, but it was on a forum banner ad. I didn't get a virus as much as I got "VOULEZ-VOUS COUCHER AVEC MOI!!" screaming from my speakers from out of nowhere with no warning.

While the head of our Canadian operations was in my office.

Who, of course, spoke French.

Thankfully, she just teased me about it and I didn't get fired.

Been using an ad blocker ever since.

Quite often:

• To support the site the ad is placed on
• To cost money to the ad's sponsor if I don't like them

Willingly, maybe 4 years ago.
