If you click the ad does the company have to pay like a fraction of a cent or something for a click through? Like if I always click on the ads can I make them pay for having waisted my time if it’s only a little bit?
That’s the idea behind the AdNauseum browser extension. “Click” on every single ad so that the data becomes worthless and the companies that are advertising have a negative return on investment. But it does mean that the ad server company gets more money.

eh, on the off chance they aren’t, why not. I don’t see those ads anyway and I do enjoy being a nuisance, even if a minor one

Might be contraproductive if google earns more with longer ads.
