    Then online ads do far more harm than billboards, because billboards don’t allow you to go to a store within seconds, in contrast to your computer. Also, lots of online ads are literal scams, malware and content that obviously breaks the site’s own terms of service, like showing adult content (porn, gambling etc.) on a site aimed at younger children.
