Sure, but really viewing the ads is the currency you are using to pay for their products. So their legacy is all of the products that users pay for with their attention.

You think I pay attention to ads? 😂

I’m not trying to sound cool here, and I don’t think this makes me special, but I’m over 30 and I think I’ve maybe purchased 3-4 things in my adult life because of an ad. I seriously do not understand how ads are profitable

For one thing there’s a lot more to it than being something you can directly click on and purchase something. It’s also about branding and recognition. They want to make sure people know about their product or service.
