I mean, (not to you, as we go in the same direction, in general), just block it.

The goal of Adnauseam was to hurt Google, and other big adnetworks, from what I understand.

By blocking:

    -> Advertiser is not harmed
    -> For the adnetwork: No ad revenue
    -> Publisher is not harmed
    -> Pages load faster

--> Google is earning less (if this is part of your ideological fight) and you get rewarded with a better experience, and you are legally safe

With fake clicks:

    -> Advertiser is harmed
    -> Publisher is harmed
    -> Adnetwork is okayish with the situation (to a certain point)

-> You hurt websites and products that you like (or would statistically like)

--> Google is accidentally earning more revenue (at least temporarily, until you get shadow-banned), your computer / page loads slows down and you enter a legally gray area.

(+ the side-note below: clicking on every ads leak your browsing history because in the URL there is a unique tracking ID that connects to the page you are viewing)

"-> Publisher is not harmed"

How? Publishers do need revenue and this can deprive them of this income.

		Fair enough. I took the principle that revenue = 0 if no conversion, but in reality this is not true at all.
