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.
