I 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.
