> You are in the minority then. I personally have clicked on ads and have found products that I was interested in.

You don't happen to work in the industry? Because I know nobody who clicks on Ads. Maybe some of them do but they don't admit it which says a lot about doing it.

The only people I've ever met who said things like you did work for the advertisement industry since they're the only ones who believe that. They have to.

> I am not saying you should. Ads just allow people to get the word out about something.

How is this a justification for the intrusive, secretive and sometimes even abusive behaviour? There are other ways to "get the word out" out there. Healthy ways.

> This is a poor mindset. If you go to a public place are all of the people there violating your attention because you can see and hear them?

Sure they do if they jump right in front of my face and yell about some product I might be interested because I just came out of a shop and they've been watching me doing it and writing down how I look.
