If you click the ad does the company have to pay like a fraction of a cent or something for a click through? Like if I always click on the ads can I make them pay for having waisted my time if it’s only a little bit?
you'll enjoy a fun browser addon then! - adnauseum
it clicks on every. single. ad both doing what you're doing, but also poisoning the data Google has on you. From their website:
That's a cute idea but it completely ignores that it isn't 2005 anymore. Algorithms are good enough to detect that.
eh, on the off chance they aren't, why not. I don't see those ads anyway and I do enjoy being a nuisance, even if a minor one
Might be contraproductive if google earns more with longer ads.
That's the idea behind the AdNauseum browser extension. "Click" on every single ad so that the data becomes worthless and the companies that are advertising have a negative return on investment. But it does mean that the ad server company gets more money.
