How many ads do you think you (the average American) sees per day? (m.youtube.com)

I'm working thru a marketing cert via Google rn (working with the enemy) and I just learned how many ads we're exposed to on a daily basis!

Any guesses?

Tap for spoiler

4000-10000

I can believe this.

Every time I need to use a system with no protection, I am shocked by how many ads are fucking everywhere.

6 seconds is more time that it takes to go through a Google search, or to scroll through a screenful or two of social media. You can see a dozen ads in 6 seconds if you're not using any kind of ad blockers.

Well okay I do see your point, but don't you think the article confounds "sees" with "are exposed to"?
