this is so crazy it might work. Automatically sending the click beacon for every blocked ad will increase advertising costs but it will also increase vendor profits, motivating them to add even more ads. Until the 3rd party click validators start to filter out clicks generated by this somehow. And then we will have yet another arms-race besides the adblockers one.

We are all going to need a lot more bandwidth!

bandwidth nowadays is a given. the only problem now is latency. but we don't care about that for background stuff.

So true! Latency may be very difficult to reduce given our reliance on the internet protocol.
