The idea is not so much of clicking on high quality content ads, but sending visits to high quality content pages and click on the ads of those pages, to get them more money. Would obviously stop working if the sales after the ad click are not made.

But, hey this isn't a gameplan, this was just a "what if" :D

That could work, or indeed it could get them dropped quicker because they have a high fraud rate :)

I'm fully on board with the AdNauseam model which fucks about indiscriminately. The ad industry can burn.

Cannot agree more. Since the the advertisers have that much to spend, let's make them to spend more for nothing. Also by doing so, it will literally put enough noise into the data those trackers collect and renders the user profiling useless and effectively protecting us from being tracked.

If we only click ads on high quality contents, those content owner might benefit from it in short term but in long run it most likely going to back fire and make them penalized as for sure there is going to be counter measures. If we simply click every ad indiscriminately, there is no way to tell or they have to penalize everyone which almost equals to do nothing.

Wouldn’t they just lose money? Ad clicks are not valuable to the businesses themselves. Only to the ad companies.
