If you think clicking all the ads makes a meaningful difference, then all the power to you.

    Its purely out of spite, plus, im not clicking anything.

    I run the full ad blocking suite anyway and see more ads watching a sportsball game with the family than I do on my home network over the course of months.

    1. I dont see the ads
    2. The data they generate is wrong and random, if that is used to train AI it runs the risk of poisioning the model.
    3. The site Im on gets paid by the ad vendor, even though the interaction is fraudulent.

    I call it a win-win

    Blocking ads definitely doesn't help the site get paid, that's what I was talking about above.

    For the same reason, it's probably not doing any meaningful "poisoning" either.
