If you're using an ad blocker, they don't want your business anyway.
I've had this thought before too. Like, someone somewhere must be clicking on these ads but I've never met them. The closest I've found is my dad who clicks on the google search ads (before I blocked them for him) but he isn't exactly an active internet user. He might open youtube once a month for one video when hes trying to fix something. Noone is making much ad revenue off of him.
A large chunk of advertising isn't to get you to buy their products right that second. The goal is brand recognition so when you are ready to buy the products, you think of them first.
Like, why does Coke still need to advertise? Literally everyone knows what they sell.
They get money just for showing ads.
You’re welcome. I wanted to contribute with the common sense that Google still earn money from ads even if people don’t click on them.
No. They get money for clicks.
No.

Companies pay money to Google for showing ads to you.
Do you click tv ads? So maybe clicking isnt necessary to make ad money, genius
I was simply explaining the concept of ads to you, good job looking stupid
