Internet analytical observation, question (not heavy!)
Lots of websites have eye catching links to outside sponsors, cyclingnews for example. So you're interested in formula one or lycra stretched over a starlet and you take the bait.
At the linked site there are invariably more links but with some revolting picture of a miracle food, a headline that says 5 foods you should never eat, always eat or a headline for 5 exercises you should never/always do.
Observation:
Most of us have never been exposed to this crud because although we may be interested in the cover of the Star, the Enquirer and so on, we never bought a copy so we missed that s**t.
But now we may click on the ads because it's easy.
After trying a couple of times (twice) in the last few years to see what the 5 reasons, foods, exercises are, I've always given up after a couple of dozen of their slides because I figure they know the more someone clicks the more likely they are to be enough of a sucker to pay for it at the end. If I didn't have a private/secure browser I wouldn't have even done that. It's bad enough lingerie advertisements follow me around the internet. Wait a minute, did I say that?
Question:
Still has anyone here ever followed through to see what any of those ads have to say?
