>Working in coordination with your ad blocker, AdNauseam quietly clicks every blocked ad, registering a visit on the ad networks databases.
Are they sure the visit is registered?
This seems like a trick that would work strictly off clicks in circa ~2009-2012, where now, adnetworks tend to check if you've downloaded some snippet of content (like a pixel tag) before it registers a hit.
In order to "click everything" you'd essentially have to download a ton of pages, content, and 3rd party scripts that are never rendered on your screen.
I think the idea is wonderful, but ad trackers have grown more sophisticated now. I'll have to check out the source later!
