I run AdNauseam to click as many ads as possible randomly simulating ad-addicted humans, just to waste as much money of adtech companies and ad buyers as possible. This year I caused something like $10k to likely be paid for ads to be delivered to my computer that I sent to /dev/null and never saw.
I see no way adtech will reform unless conversion rates plummet to the point that the business model becomes unsustainable.
Genuine question: If millions of people ran automated ad-clicking bots, how would your industry survive?
