Is there such a things as a wanted ad?

  Lots of people watch the Super Bowl for the ads.

    Only because they're unique and don't get repeated for months on end. If you could show me a unique ad every time, I might be ok with it. But in general, I see the same shit day in and day out and that's what's annoying about it.

    I'll believe there are "wanted ads" when Samsung and Yahoo set the ads to off by default and let customers opt in.

  Yes, I like seeing ads for upcoming shows that I otherwise would not have known about. They should only be between shows or when using the guide or menus, though.

  I actually watch some of the ads on YouTube Channels that I like (Provided the ads are moderately interesting). It is a small sacrifice to pay to get content that I like for free.

  Yes. When I moved into a new apartment I would likely have clicked an add for curtains (especially if they offered to make them in my measurements) and possibly other things, what I got was months of ads for a particular aparment listing site - completely worthless although I considered clicking their ads just to cost them money. I have disabled adblocker on facebook so that I can laugh at their stupid ads for bad products but the day a really good offer turns up I will totally be willing to click it. The reasons ads have gotten such a bad reputation is that most marketing agencies are more interested in having sex and playing golf than making better ads (told to me by actual marketing people) I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook would make at least twice their current revenue if they tried to optimize how companies targeted ads rather than chasing 0.1% conversion optimizing.
