Except you since that does not fix privacy concerns. And the website since the value per click/view gets lowered. And you again since the ad-companies will try to develop methods to discern what is a real click vs what is not and that makes privacy worse. And the advertiser since they won't know what ads are effective. And the ad-companies since they now need to spend time/money on fake clicks.
Oh wait, seems like nobody wins?
- Larrikin 2y agoGoogle banned the extension since apparently they couldn't figure out a good way to discern what is a real click or not. Seems to be more effective than you would think. If the value of a click goes to zero then does it make sense to show ads?
- SahAssar 2y agoI never said it's easy for them to do it, I said "ad-companies will try to develop methods to discern what is a real click vs what is not and that makes privacy worse". I'd much rather make the people who do not want ads block them entirely than creating artificial garbage clicks, especially since those still send data to the major data-collectors. I think all of the wins in your scenario are short-term only.
