This is the same logical fallacy that people try to use to say search ads don't work. CTRs on search are 2-5% so it doesn't matter if you click on it or not - they only need 5 people out of 100 to do so.
For display & mobile, the CTRs are even lower so there should be even more people who say "i never click on an ad." Advertisers will keep spending money anyway.
