I always click on annoying ads just to fuck with their ad budget, this appeared after clicking on a fake download button.
Just curious, how does this affect companies' ad budget if you disinterestedly click on ads?
In theory, whomever is running the ad pays per click or w/e. In practice, it does nothing but expose your own system to potential risk.
