There's millions of apps with ads, billions of websites with ads, trillions of hours of videos with ads. Advertising is terrible, but if you can't see how they make money, your blind.

My point question was not how the companies serving the ads are making money. My question is why companies spend so much to make and serve ads and how they're getting enough return to continue doing it in such a capacity that it pays for the free Internet services we use.
