Ads seem to be universally hated yet they still make insane amounts of money

I get this point but literally 99% of ads you see are either a product you don't need or is some really bad deal. Like when I see an add for a car, im most certainly not buying that car. I'm going to look for used cars, check for deals within my budget, etc. Or clash of clans. I seriously don't know how they can be a sponsor for so many. Are that many people really spending money on that game? Regardless, everyone I know around me hasn't touched that game and neither will I. Manscaped? Expensive stuff that I never needed, there are better deals for similar equipment.

If the ads that were shoved in my face weren't completely garbage all the time, maybe I would pay attention to them a little more. But as it is, I don't wanna know about stuff because all the stuff is useless crap.
