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:

As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile

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
