You're absolutely right, but here's a counter point of view. People are not more likely to use Ecosia and click ads than they are to use Google and click ads. Ecosia is trying to give you a "greener" option to something you will do anyway.

The thing with Ecosia is that it seems to ignore the damaging impact consumerism has on the environment. Instead, it encourages it by urging you to expose yourself and your friends to advertising.
