“Native ads“ literally means trying to trick your users into accidentally clicking an ad. Like unread email in Gmail that’s actually just an ad (spam).
What's funny, is that with this one simple trick, advertising companies have managed to swindle billions from businesses to pretend like people are seeing their ads.
Ive never met a single person who looks at online ads on a news page or something, and legitimately thinks it's a smart idea to click the link and buy the product.
If I was even running a multinational corporation, I would pay to make sure my ads weren't online - because its the one sure fire way people will never buy your product and think your company is shit.
