AdNauseam is just not a good approach to malware/ads/surveillance blocking.
The creators clearly haven't been on both side of the ads spectrum: As content creators and intrusive ads blockers
They don't know the inside of this market enough, they don't know what happens when a website get it's ads clickbombed
Some websites really have no other way to finance themselves other then using ads, and use not intrusive ads network and AdNauseam will just get them banned
AdNauseam is just about wrecking avok publishers revenues by getting them banned from ads networks, so like always, it's the small publishers that will get punished, and not the big shit ads companies.
Buzzfeed-like companies will find a way to counter AdNauseam,they have the ressources for it, but not the smaller tech blogger that you like reading
I wrote something about it a few months ago:

I'll stick to ublock.
If you hate ads but like some content, stick to ads blockers as well
