Do you actually read/watch ads on the internet?

[Moon Sugar 532]

No, I don't go out of my way. I hate it when youtube our websites have a forced-ad-watching feature.

Rarely, because advertising nowadays is mostly filled with lies and exaggerations (especially on the internet, although it's prevalent elsewhere too). But sometimes an advertisement catches my eye and I give it my attention, if only for my own amusement.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,458]

Usually no, only because many of the ads do not interest me. If a video ad catches my interest then sure, I will watch it all the way through usually in that case, but if not? I hit the skip button. Same goes with text ads, if it interests me I clicky click. If not I scrolly scroll.

Nope! I used AdBlock! So ha! 

[Ushatka 71]

I used to, but after lot of websites flooded me with ads I installed AdBlock and for now I read/watch adds only sometimes when it's about something scary, fantasy or anime.

I have adblock enabled for most websites. I turn it off for sites like these as sites like these actually need ad revenue. 

[Nsxile 26,934]

Ehh... Most of the time I just skip through them.

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

No I do not....who really does though? 

[The Historian 516]

I have uBlock Origin specifically to avoid this bullshit. If someone sneaks an ad through, I can remove that page element or I can just block elements that irritate me.

[Clawdeen 14,083]

No. I can’t wait till I’m able to skip them. Ads are very annoying

[Splashee 28,563]

I grew up in a society without ads, that later got ads, so obviously I hate them. But if I had grown up with them, I would be a proud ad parent today. You can become a proud ad parent for only £1.99

[Stardust 641]

Only if it is funny or informative most of the ads I see r scammy tho lol especially on yt

[Twilight Sparkle97 402]

Sometimes I do, and sometimes I click on them. 

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

Unless it’s something of any interest to me, no.

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

Sometimes I’ll watch them out of interest but I usually end up disappointed by what I see

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Nope, I use an ad blocker, and if I have to disable it, I usually just scan the ad for an x to close it out.

[TheRockARooster 51,139]

When I go on YouTube and ads come on, I skip or ignore them.

 

They’re so annoying.

[Astralshy 26,623]

I'm also annoyed and skip them often. But there are also case when I want to support someone by watching them.

[Paleopony 701]

I generally do not watch ads.

[Rainbow Cloud 17,964]

No, I block most of them and ignore the one's that can't be blocked.
