Kinda depends on your perspective. It costs advertisers money and pays the website you’re visiting. If it’s a shitty site with a lot of ads, you’re effectively encouraging them putting in more ads. Since you’re “clicking” on every ad, and it’s not affecting your experience, it sends a message that stuffing the page with all those ads is good for revenue. It also just charges advertisers. I don’t personally think running ads inherently makes a company bad, so in my opinion clicking on ads out of spite so they get charged for a useless click is kind of not a great solution imho. It seems like it kinda benefits the wrong people, unless you’re exclusively going to great websites running ads for terrible companies.

Yea, I was definitely not denying it. Just wondering why someone who is morally against it would do it in the first place.

I’m glad that they are speaking out, but why didn’t they say no? He says they tried to talk their commanding officer out of it, but then they just did it anyway? If they knew it was wrong, why didn’t they do it? Again, glad they’re speaking out, but it’s so weird that they did it in the first place.
