That rings with what Uber said, that they'd been scammed $100 million.

I am convinced that the bulk of online advertising money spent is just wasted. All it does is steal clicks and attributions for conversions that would have happened anyway.

I've been on the internet since before it was all about ads and clocks.

I've never intentionally clicked on an ad. It's either been an accidental drive by click or deception.

It's not wasted, it pays for the two out of three major web browsers we currently have, along with Go and many other things.
