How will it stop ads if it rewards them with money?
4 comments

It makes them burn money with no effect. Doesn't work every time, but still sends a message.
It rewards Google with the advertiser's money, and the advertisers don't like paying for extremely low conversion rates.
Because it could eventually be detected as click-fraud, and ad networks hate paying out for click-fraud.
