Thanks for taking one for the team and checking that out. I sure wasn't gonna
I Always click on those ads to waste their daily budget
Explain to me like I'm five, how does this?
They pay for the number of impressions as well as the number of click-throughs. More clicks on the ad = more cost for running the ad, or fewer impressions. However, it also gives more money to those hosting the ads, so it supports them imbedding them.
You can use this plugin to automate the process if you want to continue down this path. https://adnauseam.io/
That's freakin awesome! I absolutely love that idea/solution. Is it kinda hot in here? Why'm I all moist?
Seriously tho, is there any downside? Also, I'm still not sure I understand the point of running the ad in the first place. Why run a shitty ad that costs you money? Is the idea to get people to follow that other conspiracy site more regularly?
Advertisers pay a fee to the website where their ad is displayed every time someone clicks on it, it's called the Pay Per Click model. It's how websites make money off running ads. There is a small fee for displaying the ad and larger one for click throughs.
I might have looked it up. Even when I'm 99% sure something is a scam I often want to push a little further to understand more about how the scam operates but I don't think I have enough skill or dedication to scambait properly.
