This has been my approach for the last 10 years: I live to make adversisers pay out the nose for my attention, then I don't buy products. I'll fill out surveys, invent names as long as the terms are vague enough to allow it, and do anything in my power to give large data-miners as much information to choke on as possible. I personally think the best way to fix online advertising is to make it so expensive that door-to-door salesman suddenly make financial sense.

This is exactly why I like the concept behind AdNauseam, the UBlock Origin fork that will click every single ad it encounters (but still hide the actual ads). I'm sure advertisers have had to invest into detection algorithms because of that addon.

The fact they removed AdNauseam but not uBlock Origin is a good sign that the addon is doing something right!
