Comment on Ask HN: How would you build a trackerless ad network?

Comments

One caveat about removing trackers is it opens up for the ability for easily exploitable fraud from botnet users.

That is true. They drive up prices on Google Ad prices. But I feel its a symptom more than the problem. Because these ad networks have a per-click payout system, they have to track each and every click. One way to fix this would be to have a constant pay rate regardless of clicks. Something like $X/week or $Y/month, where X&Y can be decided on heuristics I explained in other comment.
