Surely any clicks resulting from adblocker-defeating measures are unintentional clicks by frustrated users?

People who install adblockers are people who do not want to click on ads.

Well, some of us do: https://adnauseam.io/
Is there any benefit to that? I mean, does it convince anyone of anything, like that you're not using an ad-blocker? Or is it a pure public service?
I don't use it myself, but as far as I understand it, the idea is to increase the noise you make so that any signal you make would get lost.

Ads can't be tailored to you if you click on every ad ever shown to you (in the background of course).
