    From my understanding, they appear to be coming from you- that’s kinda the point.

      It should atleast poison any data they gather about you right? Since you’re not ever going to realistically click on any of these ads, it would now look like anything and everything interests you

        That’s the point. You can’t really build an advertising profile if they literally engage with every single thing all the time.

        That could get you on some interesting lists.

        Personally, I’d rather not have any database think I was interested in certain topics, no matter how false that data is.
