to click on a political Facebook ad because it will cost them money

[Orlantina]

And that's more money off their budget so it might not be shown to someone else.

I've been shown the ad. I am not sure if it costs them money to show me the ad or if they pay per click.

No interest in the message. It just warms my soul to know that it's going to cost them money.

I like your thinking

I'm not sure how they work, I'll ask someone at work tomorrow

It is not cost per click on Facebook normally. It is usually per impressions which means the number of people that it appears for. Google ads on the other hand do cost them money, so search away!
