Personally, I've never discovered anything specifically from an ad worth purchasing, but I have found interesting things to purchase after an advert inspired me to research a topic further.
Frankly, your comment reads as someone whose livelihood depends on advertising.
- teekert 11y agoI also hate ads in general, my livelihood certainly does not depend on them. But there are sometimes ads that are useful. This must almost be the case as ads (excluding punch the monkey-like ads) try to be useful. Well, according to the numbers SF people do click ads from time to time. I just can't imagine all ad clicks to be by accident and so by definition not all ads are useless. So maybe HN-ers that never click ads and always ignore them, do miss out.
- Nursie 11y agoThe only time I've clicked on ads in the last decade it was either accidental clicks or when the ad has done its best to appear like content. And no, I don't miss out, these people are trying to raid my wallet.
