Advertisers pay for clicks, noise or not. See the Facebook scandal for example.


Advertiser only pay for clicks when it comes to search ads, but there's a whole other world of display advertising. Marketers run campaigns with different strategies, direct response, sales, etc. 99% of ads are bought and sold on views anyway. I'll admit I was hyperbolic when I said this will have 0 impact. It w.ill be annoying, but it won't really make an impact in the grand scheme of things in my opinion. Source: I've worked in ad tech since 2005.
