Recently had one for a world of Warcraft private server which seemed cool
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
Iโve 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.
Willingly, maybe 4 years ago.
Never since I installed a program that prevents me from doing so by accident.
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.
