If I look at a part on Digikey, ads for that part appear all over the
web.

I wonder how much they pay per clickthrough. I click on lots of them,
figuring it transfers wealth to a better place.

It probably makes Google and the likes richer. Not my idea of a better

I assume they count my many clicks on the same part and realize what
it's costing them, and give up on tracking me. Worth a try.

If I look at a mosfet data sheet, why would they pay to show it to me
50 times more?

Digikey has become weird.

Reminds me that Google tracks you in Google maps, that how they can show
roadblocks on the map and divert traffic (nice feature)

Anyway, a hacker wrote a program to emulate 1000 cars, and had that
emulation travel very slowly in front of his route. Google saw this as a
road block, and rerouted traffic allowing him to pass with no traffic ;-)
