In terms of cost of an ad to earnings, and how well, even a targeted ad, can hold a viewer's attention. Have we just become numb to ads? Does targeted advertising actually yield better results?

All the time. When I actually need something, then I'll go do a bit of research on different products based on feedback from friends, and what people online say, then use that to inform what I buy. I can't think of any product I bought because it was advertised to me.

    You happen to use a search engine or visit websites while researching? The people who claim not to be influenced by advertising are the ones most unable to understand how they are being manipulated.
