Of course the company will reap the lion's share. The town has to decide if the remaining bits are worth the tax break they give the company. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't.

I have two kids. I don't actually mind when they see advertising because it has given me a great opportunity to explain the tricks being used to sell product. I think they are generally wary of advertising now because of this.

My theory: the person in charge of a landing page doesn't want people bouncing off the site from the page they control (don't want the metrics to look bad!), so they tend to make it opaque to encourage click throughs. It doesn&#x2
