    You’d be surprised. Advertisers wouldn’t be running the ads if they didn’t have positive ROI (return on investment). A good ROI is usually at least 5x (that is, for every dollar the advertiser spends on ads, they make five dollars). Google’s estimates are even higher at 8x:

    we conservatively estimate that for every $1 a business spends on Google Ads, they receive $8 in profit through Google Search and Ads.

    Retargeting ads - the ones where you view a product somewhere then see ads for it on Google, Facebook, etc - are especially successful. They have a very good clickthrough rate since the product is already something the user expressed interest in.

      People who are very anti-corporation/advertising/etc are unfortunately a minority.
