Something I don't understand: wouldn't clicking all the ads still help build tracking profiles of you? (except, inaccurate ones, which still carry the chance of harming you?) They seem to compare themselves to TrackMeNot, which Googles random things in the background to try to mess up Google's profile of you — but I always thought that sounded crazy, because what if it looks up stuff that gets you put on a list, or stuff that's outright illegal? I tried looking at the TrackMeNot paper but it 404's. Another question I have about AdNauseam: people seem to think that if we succeed in abolishing tracking, the web will still be free, just with non-tracking ads. I don't buy that, because ads aren't very profitable as it is. We might end up with wide swaths of the web just paywalled (or worse? If we get to that point, there'll be lots of "innovations" I'm sure). Why don't people demonstrate what a better model would look like, and whether it would work at scale, if they really dislike the current state of the web?
