It's a real problem. Anecdotally, I've talked to several people struggling to stop clicking on ads so they can keep getting things done. I struggle with it sometimes as well.

You end up making somebody money from ad clicks but never find out the information. Ironically, the solution is to usually just google the topic, satiate your curiosity and move on. But I can get stuck in a looking at ads for an hour before I realize what is happening. It's such a waste.
