I dislike all forms of advertising
I am likely to pay attention to ads in video format on web pages
I want online ads to learn about me and make themselvesmore relevant, like on Amazon
I want advertisers to count how many times I've seen online adsso I don't see the same ones over and over
Advertising often provides useful information for consumers
I am grateful that a lot of the information and entertainment I enjoy (such as TV, magazines, Internet) is cheaper or free
because of advertising sponsorship
I prefer ads when they have detailed informationabout the product's benefits
When I’m planning to buy a particular product or service,I pay more attention to relevant advertising
