consumers are however happy to buy a cheaper stick with an overall public bad

  I don't even think it's a public bad. I think attacking internet gatekeepers like Cloudflare is objectively a public good. So is attacking legal spam companies.

    ...ish. Attacking their monopoly, great. Attacking their workers by bombing an office, not so great. Throwing ever more spam traffic across the tubes isn't a attack, it's marketing on their behalf.

      In what way is clicking an ad like bombing an office?

        I think i was clear, but I'll try again. You said this: > attacking internet gatekeepers I think we agree that you don't mean all kinds of attack. The agreed exception is bombs. I put it to you that throwing bot traffic around is another kind of attack that you do not want, because it drives product sales. You would be doing them a favour.
