X, formerly Twitter, was caught running unlabeled ads on its platform in September. Now that issue, which has been ongoing, has been brought to the FTC's
About time, unlabeled ads isn’t even a requirement to make money off of ads, or is it…?
clicking on an ad generates more revenue then just seeing one if I remember correctly. which seems to be why YouTube encourages users to get use to waiting and clicking on the skip button, if on the browser site theres a chance of a user clicking on the ad and opening it’s link.
Clicking on the ad is what triggers a charge (in terms of cost). Simply showing the ad is basically worthless. At least that’s how it was a while back when I was running a website and I had ads on it. The trick to getting bigger payouts was to make the ads look like part of your content and no so out of place. Twitter is doing just that and typically it is against the terms of use for ad networks, but since it’s their own network I guess that doesn’t really matter.
wait, then how do youtube’s ads on smart tvs generate money? something doesn’t add up because on smart tvs you cannot click the ad in the same way or even at all.

Oh sorry I was coming from the perspective of running ads on your website.
