ELI5: Why do ads like "single moms in the area'' or those fake download buttons exist? Who actually benefits from that, and how?

You'd be surprised how many people click them. They're just adverts that don't go anywhere paid for by the companies or the individual who made them and every time somebody clicks on them, they make a bit of money.

People make a lot of money out of adverts like that.
