The data they generate is wrong and random, if that is used to train AI it runs the risk of poisioning the model.
The site Im on gets paid by the ad vendor, even though the interaction is fraudulent.

I call it a win-win
Blocking ads definitely doesn’t help the site get paid, that’s what I was talking about above.
For the same reason, it’s probably not doing any meaningful “poisoning” either.

Whatever table you imagine clicks to be stored in, add a column called “Using adblocker”.
Filter out any rows where that column = true.
