I just switched from ubo to adnaseam, and I’m wondering who’s wallet is getting hurt by those ads “I” click? the ad company? does the site then make money? if the sites make money, can I choose where I click? I’d like to not give sites I don’t agree with anything, but certain news sited I would

thanks :)

    Op wants to give some sites something, and others not. As far as I understood it, this is not about facebook*. This is about random websites

    Even if I would use facebook, facebook wouldn’t ever get money from ads from me because I don’t click on random stuff that pops up on a page. If I’d want to give back something to facebook, I’d need to send them money.

      I thought it was about having some browser extension that clicks ads on sites without showing the ads to the user. Like a kind of “best of both worlds” for adblocking. So if it’s some blog they read often the ad revenue is probably more like $1 per year.

      If you were to use Facebook they can make money off your views even without clicks, just not as much.
