There are obvious differences, and pros and cons, in relation to both.

Natasha Nox 🇺🇦🇵🇸<p>I like the idea behind <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AdNauseam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdNauseam</span></a>. Now put that feature of clicking wildly at ads to cause useless expenses for ad companies and messing up identification databases into a docker container that can be run anywhere.</p><p>I'd also be really, really enjoying someone actually spreading something like that to a bot net. Just imagine billions of false clicks from all over the place bringing the (<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>surveillance</span></a>) advertisement industry to a screeching halt.</p><p>Yeah. That would be awesome. :breadpeek:</p>

Guy<p>Do you want to get rid of all the pesky DuckDuckGo ads for Temu and other crap?</p><p>Just chuck this into your own uBlock Origin or AdNauseam filter list:</p><p>```<br>!

Besides increased bandwidth usage, seems like a legit approach to jamming the signal:</p><p>"As online advertising becomes ever more ubiquitous and unsanctioned, <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/AdNauseam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdNauseam</span></a> works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks' databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile."</p><p><a href="https://adnauseam.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">adnauseam.io/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
