If I see an ad, I click it. In fact, I right-click it and click the button for my shitty addon "thousand-click".

Then my raspberry pi loads that ad in a headless firefox and clicks it thousands of times.

You won't believe how soon you stop getting ads, and instead just empty iframes, or warnings from Google that you're abusing their ads. Well, their problem.

Luckily, there's now an addon that does this fully automatically: AdNauseam.

Fully automated ad abuse, and ensures that if enough people use it, online advertising will die within of weeks.
