Does anyone here remember clicking on an add in the last week or month? How about just remembering an add or brand they saw online? I sure don't.
How is this not actionable? I'd get in touch with my state AG's office as well as the FBI.
I completely forgot Reddit even has ads. I was watching a screen share on someone else's computer who was looking at a news article and I was completely shocked at the experience. How do people live without adblock?

> Never allow dynamic ad content! Ads should be individually approved by publishers and not subject to change after approval. Partially agree. Publishers should definitely be able to blacklist advertisers. However, networks like Google get thousands of ads that run for only a handful of impressions. Asking publishers to manually approve every single ad that might run is onerous. I would like to see approval required…

I find it so weird idea that people really click on ads. I don't know if I've ever done so (intentionally). As such I would have expected more like 90% of clicks to be fraudulent.
I’ve never bought anything because of an advertisement.

Even if I see something interesting in an ad I won't click it. I much rather just google it and get info that way.
As the reddit posting points out, there are plenty of other ways to determine that a click is fake (no css or images loaded, etc).
adnauseam.io i don't know how many people actually install this extension, but it is specifically designed to clicks ads so you don't have to :)
Always wondered how stuff like this/Decentraleyes etc work (or not, as the case may be) if you already have Ublock origin running.

> You want a system where either you pay five figures to reserve a time block, or you don't get to play. No reason timeslots can't be sold in the minutes, seconds, or even miliseconds on high traffic sites. Five figures assumes a long timeslot. You could even do "every 100th impression during the timeslot" or so on without doing anything that would offend the user you are replying to.
