I'd say that ads in a video games are moreso of an annoyance to most people.

It's not something I'd personally click on at all.

I find what works best is to make a really fun game, and just have some type of in game transactions, or ways to level up etc.

Many clicker based games can monetize just by allowing people to pay for time to pass by quicker, or upgrade to an autoclicker etc.

You can get creative with the methods.

Ads on their own though are more so annoying and less effective I think.

I'll definitely consider this route. I guess I associate micro-transactions with mobile games. Thanks for the suggestion!
