I like how it starts out forcing you to advertise in mobile. Google wants to EOL the web!


yep. it's really a challenge to set up ads only on desktop. IMO, Mobile ads, albeit huge traffic, generate almost no real deals.


It's a lot more frequent to misclick (mistouch?) on mobile.


Isn't that the whole point of mobile ads? Pages are always rerendering and UI elements are shifting around, you are trying to click on one thing and then the layout shifts and... Ka-Ching!

It's like ad fraud but it's technically not fraud.

It happens so consistently that I wonder if the phone is using the accelerometer to predict that you are about to click and where and triggers a layout shift that puts the ad in the right place.


Doesn't need to predict. It can just wait until you click, THEN shift and act as if you misclicked.

Who knows what the megabytes of Javascript are doing.
