I think as a child I got viruses from one of the ads, you know, the ones would put on the side of the site. We had to call in a guy, to clean parents' computer. I felt really guilty and never touched those ads again.

So Google's and Meta's main business are ads. And recently I felt confused. Do people click on ads? Don't these ads feel phishy to them?

Intentionally? Maybe 10 years ago.

True story, it was a "get a free iPad" ad, and I kid you not, I ended up getting an ipad (with some effort and a few emails). It was an ad in an app.
