That assumes they are paying perclick, and you are exchanging your time for their cost. If it makes you happy because it pays for the site, go for it, but you are probably costing the ad buyers a tiny fraction of a penny per click.
Pay per view ads are only for walled gardens with a monopoly.
Nobody clicks on ads = the site owner makes lots of money from ads, but advertisers spend a lot of money for low conversions.
No advertiser would ever choose a pay per view model when there’s the possibility of pay per click
For example when I was a reddit users I ran a campaign on Reddit and nobody was clicking the link. After all, you’re doomscrolling, why would you click on an ad? Maybe accidentally, or if it has a deceiving or click bait title. Instead on a normal website, once you’re done with the news or got the info you were searching for, you’re more likely to click somewhere. It’s the reason most Facebook ads are downright scams, because otherwise nobody would click them and also they filter only the gullible people thinking that yes, that Alibaba resell tech masterpiece for $99 discounted from $390 is a very good deal.
Ads on website pay on a “pay for each click” basis. So for each click I waste 5 cents of their budget and hopefully end the campaign a bit earlier than expected
Just curious, how does this affect companies’ ad budget if you disinterestedly click on ads?
Because someone paid for that click, and will spend more money because of “how many clicks” they got.
Basically, clicking on ads you aren’t interested in wastes someone’s money (and makes money for the site, depending on how the ads are bought/placed).

I don’t disagree. If I chose to do that, I’d automate it, but there’s no guarantee that they are using a paid-per-click ad.

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.
