A forced click refers to the act of clicking on a digital button or link under pressure or coercion, often against one’s will. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a pop-up ad forces a user to click on it in order to exit, or when a malicious website tricks a user into clicking on a deceptive link. In these situations, the user is not clicking out of genuine interest or intention, but rather due to external factors. Forced clicks can be frustrating and disruptive to the user experience, and are often used by advertisers or scammers to generate clicks and traffic.
