On mobile I get like 8 inline billboard ads for BestBuy that are larger than the paragraph. One for each article link between the paragraphs. One video that plays at the bottom and scrolls with you, and one video ad at the top that just plays.

How do ads even make money today? I don't think I've ever even clicked one on purpose. Is it just impressions? I feel like companies are just handing money to Google and Facebook without much benefit? Or am I missing something?

On mobile I get no ads. You should check out adguard. If you are on android you can install it at the os level and/or you can install the addon to FF

I'm good. I know how to use things. I just wanted to see how many ads I could get on chrome.
