Sometimes I click on ads for mobile games if I think they actually look fun. They just redirect straight into the app store so there's not much chance of anything bad happening

I accidentally clicked in a ad in the past week. Does it count?
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.
Never since I installed a program that prevents me from doing so by accident.
Recently had one for a world of Warcraft private server which seemed cool
I don't remember ever clicking an ad. I probably have, but I don't remember ever doing it.
I pay for as much content as I can, to avoid that vomit.
