I'm fairly confident all of the revenue from one of my sites comes from botnet ad clicks. I use CloudFlare and when I set it up at first I used the standard settings for blocking bots. My ad revenue flat lined. Took the botnet protections off and my ad revenue went right back to what it was before.
Are you gonna leave it? I must admit, screwing advertisers doesn't feel so wrong, I'm certainly no fan, but you can't ignore that it's not very ethical.
Given that it's not technically your fault, you'd very likely never get blamed, and your actions will likely not change the world in any way, what will you do?
