Now that the dust has settled, is Adnauseum a scam or not?

if advertisers are making money anyway, what's the point?

>>62144226
>clicking ads for google for free

where can I submit my site to adnauseam devs so I get som free adsense clicks??

also, how is this supposed to hurt google? it will make them even richer..

>>62144258
>when your IQ is below 110

>>62144258
this. How do i make the worst possible tracking ads for free money?

It breaks advertising and tracking by flooding false positive data into your tracking profile. Just imagine if you shared your various accounts with 50 other people. This is that. The signal to noise ratio is completely ruined.

Is it compatible with pihole, privacy badger, umatrix, noscipt, etc?

>>62144226
most of my ads so far have been from duckduckgo.
>the browser that doesn't track you
lmao

it doesn't block as many ads as uBlock, despite being subscribed to the same lists, and I don't know why

>>62144258
>Can't look three steps ahead

>>62144229
The metric they use for measuring work, clicks, becomes useless. Long term this destroys trust in advertisers because the compensation they ask is not correlated with exposure they bring to your product. Losing customers does mean death for advertisers.

>>62144342
How did you measure that? Did you actually compare them on the same website with the same lists and clicking disabled?

Wouldn't it raise ad prices

You're helping google, and sperg nausspasm in the short, and long term. The only people that lose are the poor saps who installed this crap to make everyone else rich without any reward.

>>62144226
How long until we see one of these guys take a fall?

They were started on /pol/ in a discord and there has to be agents there, I give them 2 weeks to a month to really rack the charges up.

>>62144590
Not if for every twenty clicks, only one is from someone that's actually interested in the product.

>>62144590
It will certainly affect a lot of things, but in the long term, everyone will hit on Google, because they're the ones targetted, and they're the ones that brought this on themselves.

There's no difference between hiring pajeets to click a million ads and this.

>>62144666

We're fucking over Google by making clicks worthless and untrustworthy. It's not meant to starve the beast, it's meant to shove big macs down its throat until it's heart explodes. Jesus fuck I can't believe people are falling for Google shills

>>62145034
Meant to reply to OP?

>>62145055
It is meant to starve, by undermining its ability to evaluate ad traffic. Starving happens when clients turn away from the service. I'd love to see you describe a scenario when something explodes.

>>62145074
You get the point. You can't build an accurate profile on someone if they click EVERYTHING. Google and advertisers want to tailor ads and build profiles on people to sell.

>>62145113
I posted the point, I do get it, yes. Heart explodes is not a word that describes it in any way. Starve describes it pretty well because in case it succeeds this is how the advertiser will die. Slowly losing customers over large time period. Instead of becoming gigantic over small period and then quickly disappearing, as with explosion.

>>62145026
>it was compatible with uMatrix and noscript

It uses 90% of the same UI as ublock origin, and it's just supposed to work, you're not supposed to look at the UI all the fucking time.

We all do tech support for our families and friend, right?
Well next time you handle their computer/browser, instead of installing uBlock, install AdNauseam.

>>62145503
This, adblocking is a sweet deal when there's a minority of people doing it. Normalfags still see their ads and give the publishers money, so people can adblock without consequence. By getting rid of ads altogether all you're doing is making it so you'll have to pay a subscription to use every single site you use, there's no way to offload that to the normalfags.

I always shill against adblocking to normalfags because I don't want adblockers to become so popular that ads stop being a good way to run a free service, that goes against my interests.

>>62144815
To my knowledge, there is no law against it, if you hosted your own site and was clicking your own ads to gain revenue that would be considered ad-fraud but this has no law against it. I suspect tech giants are in the process of secretly lobbying the government for a new law, so attack them now.

>>62144226
Never even heard of it until the pale meme thing. I don't even click on ads in the first place so why would I want something to click on them for me?

>>62145939
>I don't even click on ads in the first place so why would I want something to click on them for me?
Because by generating false and omnipresent adclicks, you mess with their statistics and data, and Google/Advertisers have to reimburse the website.

Hurt they wallet.

>>62145895
>I suspect tech giants are in the process of secretly lobbying the government
Which government?

This would only theoretically work if 90% of the web users used it for a prolonged period of time.

But since it's a very minority that is using it, it's accomplishing exactly the opposite. The ad people are making more money and you lose by clicking the ads.
You have to be an idiot to use this, since the majority will never start using it.

>>62145971
>But since it's a very minority that is using it, it's accomplishing exactly the opposite
Wrong.
They see a drastic increase of adclicks, but a decrease of further page clicking, products buying, etc.

And the flood is detected as "ad fraud" by google and they have to reimburse the website.

Already happened.

>>62145960

I'm the kind of dumb that Google hires for big money. Here's how to fuck with Google:
>delay clicks after page loading, from seconds to hours
>simulate mouse movements
>hover some links without clicking them
>don't just send GET requests but actually load the pages, and repeat the process on some levels

There we go. I don't know how far AdNauseam goes after clicking the links into loading the result, probably not very far, but it's the biggest evolution to make to fuck up with Google big time.

Next step would be to automate Google searches with ad words, and added random words, as queries.

>>62146537
This and This

>>62146745
>delay clicks after page loading
Ad Nauseam already does that.
>simulate mouse movements
You are on the page, so you will move the mouse anyway.

The links respecting the "do not track" will be inspected but not clicked
>don't just send GET requests but actually load the pages

The "need subscription for every site" argument is really popular here, but subscriptions and paywall dont work, the same people that complain about adblocking since 2010 never installed subscription/paywall in his sites because is a suicide.

Shouldn't a very efficient method be to make a distributed ad clicking bot? Literal counter botnet that uses torrent-like p2p network to distribute ad links and have others click for you?

AdNauseam doesn't record nearly as many ads as uBlockOrigin. I've read former was based on the latter, so what gives? I was trying to visit a bunch of sites, but I found only a handful of ads, after turning off Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin both.

I do notice how I haven't seen any ads pop up though. Are they simply blocked, or does the thing just not show what's been recorded and clicked?

This. Faggots who are arguing "long term effects" or some shit like that fail to grasp the even bigger picture they claim to see clearly:

Google will do one of two things: figure out a way to detect these false ad clicks and discard most of them when tallying up what to charge the advertisers, or just spin the numbers in such a way as to rake in all the sheckels anyway.

It's fun to believe we are the mentally superior cyber-guerillas going after The Mega-Corporate Machine, but the truth is you've got to give them at least a little credit for what they've built so far, and their capabilities to protect it.

In short: Google isn't dumb. Don't underestimate your opponent.

It's a good cause and a good "fuck you" message but, honestly, I think it's not a big deal for ad companies.
There are companies literally dedicating their existence to generating fake clicks/impressions to get money. Any decent ad network is very good at detecting fake clicks.

I'd rather invest my time and will into creating alternatives to current state of things, something to replace google, not simply kill it. It's not like fucking up your website with ads to the point of unusability is the only approach to monetization, there should be something different that people would use (no, voluntary donations don't work unless you're a wikipedia).

>>62145893
Good. The internet belongs to hobbyists.

>>62152821
>Any decent ad network is very good at detecting fake clicks.
Truth is, they aren't. But they don't really care either. As long as all ad networks suck at fake clicks detection, ad buyers will have to pay for the fake clicks if they want the real ones. This is online ad's dirty little secret.

Can I set this up to purely block and fake-click Google ads?

>>62152923
Good point. I wouldn't rely on it too much, though, you won't ever notice if they improve (and they will if it will become an existential threat) and it's a lost war after that.

I have an idea.
Do site owners get a lot of revenue from one page load by average user? How much should each person pay, instead of watching ads, for the site to get the same revenue? I have a feeling that, on average, it will sum to literally few dollars per month of daily browsing.
We can get current website revenue data and propose users to pay just what site owner expects to earn. You have an ad-replacement wallet, you'll put a few bucks there, you pay $0.000000000628 or something for each page load and will see no ads. Should be absolutely ethical, easy to implement and use for all parties, totally affordable and transparent for end users.
Also, frequent users will be able to give the site more money in an easy way if they desire, with ads you have to either get buttfucked by paypal or whatever the site uses for donations or click on ads, risking your sanity and site rating in ad network.
