It choosing to watch an addition ad on app helps fund Duolingo ?

[Einat162]

I'm just curios, many of us see some ads (not being a premium account), and an occasional commercial on the mobile- on that (mobile) sometimes I get the option for treasure box for watching a 30-60 seconds ad (optional).
Does choosing to watch an ad helps Duolingo, if I don't pay for premium?

I dont know if watching the full ads triggers anything. However clicking the ad link bringing in traffic to the ad site does help even if you leave right the site right after.

Duolingo gains money each time one of their users watches an add, however for comparable sites, I'm aware that this amount of money is likely to be very small (revenue per ad view is often between 0.001 and 0.01 dollars).
