You guys who see the ad have probably been very naughty-- at least in your browsing history.
Pt
Because TH was able to note the number of clicks and it was mentioned the ad was helping generate revenue, it was not a gmail/google-generated source.
TH and TOTV get paid every time they accept an ad and every time it gets clicked/linked from a unique email address if it's the typical ad.

The ads that bothered us were the ones with animation and obnoxious flashing colors like lake Weir living and Dawn the Accountant

Dawn was very responsive when i told her that her flashing tax prep ad was not something that we considered an enhancement for a company offering such professional services


I got her attention that iPhones and other siuch devices often fail to display anything with flashing graphics and/or animation

you just get a blank screen
