Just as the title says: Have you ever clicked on an ad, knowing it was an ad, on purpose? What ad was it? Why did you click it?

Curious because I realized I have not once in my life clicked on an ad shown online on purpose. Accidentally, and being tricked into clicking the wrong thing sure; never with intent though.

    Yeah, saw a neat looking cat toy in an ad, and bought it.

    It was an ad for a motorized ball about as big as a golf ball, lights up and kinda rolls/jumps around on its own as long as the cats nudge it. Eventually sleeps when they stop playing with it.

    It is exactly as advertised, but the cats are only kinda interested in it. We still recharge it and put it out for them occasionally.

    Once.

    It was in gmail (I think gmail used to have text ads?), for a local job, in my field, right when I was about to quit.

    I got the job.
