    If you wanna waste Ad companies money use the ublock fork https://adnauseam.io/ that clicks on all the ads to dilute the dataset, it also shows them all in a little ‘collection’ which is cool
    They pay per click on the ad ~1$ for 1 click so by clicking on 2,000 in 3 months for me is a lotta wasted money.

    Also, use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/trackmenot/ to search random stuff on Google and Bing, and to take their money download the Google app “rewards” and you’ll get surveys on search results and get money in the form of Google play money for them (make sure to actually use it). iirc Bing does the same with their points.
    This one doesn’t waste a lot of money, but it’s money you can use to support a cause you like or just buy something for a game if you want.

      I didn’t believe that cost so I looked it up. It’s seriously a dollar per click. That seems SO expensive to me.
