>this kind of silly abuse is easily caught and filtered out with no effort
Not an AdNauseum user myself, but how can we tell this isn't ad industry FUD? They would certainly have a vested interest in discouraging the practice.
If nothing else at least AdNauseum can contribute somewhat to bandwidth and administrative costs.
Because it’s one of the most data driven industries with petabytes generated everyday of actual user behavior so abnormal usage, especially wild clicks, are among the easiest to catch.
Bandwidth costs would be a few extra bytes and you would likely only hurt yourself if using a metered connection. There are 0 extra admin costs.
If you don’t like the ads then avoid the site, but if you must still access the content the use an ad blocker because loading ads just to falsely click on them only generates a stronger signal than usual.
