This industry does not have a ton of money for advertising, so they don't bid much for ad placement (regarding Google ads). Compare that to the pharmaceutical companies who have a LOT of money and are highly competitive... I have a game addiction site that does not get a lot of ad clicks, but when it did they were worth 50 cents on average - I had some days where it was $2-$3 a click! But even those numbers have come down a lot in the last year (I wonder why) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Anyway, sorry for the side-track - but I pretty regularly click the ads (especially for RPG related sites) when I am interested - or when I know I want to go to that site anyway, I will use it as a quick link there <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
