What if someone unironically wants to automatically click all the ads to support the websites they visit

You'd be doing way more harm than good. The battle between ad networks and unscrupulous website owners using bots to fake ad clicks has been going on forever.

Some sort of Robinhood of advertising, taking from the big, to give to the small

Ads pay in different forms. Some pay per click (PPC), some pay per thousand impressions (CPM).

Clicking with the intention of helping doesn't help. Only clicking with genuine interest helps.


I don't think the question was about whether this would actually help the advertisers. (I suspect it was rhetorical.) Of course the defense will now be harder to execute for anyone who reads this thread.

Visa/Mastercard take like 1 or 2%. That's why they cannot compare to Apple...

If they tried to take significantly more, cash would be a lot more popular.

Yet Apple can get away with taking 30% and companies still accept this and push their apps rather than websites.

companies and users!


Visa/MasterCard take like 0.3% the rest of the interchange fee goes to the issuing and acquiring banks.

if your data isn't mostly read-only, then you're going to have an issue with SQLite. It doesn't nicely support parallel writers

Developers change defaults all the time and make things far worse.

Vim 9.0 default changes required a 6 line vimrc to undo the damage.


Yes, that's the primary reason that made me switch to neovim instead.

I don't think they specifically target people who tend to go to sleep. But, having worked in the ad engineering, I can imagine they do know how often specific users skip ads and target ads based on that property.


One can also use the Facebook website. It's almost usable on the Firefox mobile to the extent that you can check the news feed or notifications and reply to a comment, but anything more involved is very annoying (so you end up not doing this and long-term using Facebook less, which is a good thing)
