To my surprise it actually works.
It's kind of tactic of mass promotion and is expected that hundreds of folks will not give a damn but one in many will click on the ad.
Also companies (at least i did when i had to use it) often only pay for clicks or even for successful install of their apps so it's much cheaper than e.g. classic tv spots where they have to pay for a time regardless ofeffectiveness.
