To make it work you would need to program some bots to do nothing but click on certain advertisers, 24/7.

you could ruin google’s business model...for a bit... as advertisers would drop until the protest subsided...google would have to issue returns i would imagine.

Google doesn’t get paid by the clicks. They get paid by the volume of impressions they serve.

If done, one should be either pre-positioned to or know how to, mitigate the residual digital detritus that might be deposited on the system. I prefer just putting them to work

Don’t do this on sites you like or it will result in ads pulled from the site as click fraud.
Conversely, do this on Huffington Post or other liberal sites and they will see ads disrupted if not pulled.

Better solution: stop using Google.

Starve the beast.

Here's a link from an earlier thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/6scor1/make_electronics_great_again_security_edition/

It's a Reddit post on how to get Google out of your life.

Credit goes to ReaganGeneration2 for the original link in the prior post.

I don’t use Goolag for search but websites I visit have Goolag ads.

So I regularly shop for bikinis and lingerie. It makes for a pleasant background when I visit those sites.

Hey, this is not complicated.

Just don't use Google at all. There are other options.

I've been using DogPile and Bing for years as my search engines. There are several other good ones that others might suggest.

Everybody's up in arms over Google. I'm not. Just kick your habit cold turkey.

The 4chan kids are way ahead of you. They have software that auto clicks each add umpteen times or more to make it obvious that Google’s data is crap.

Instead of punishing the advertisers, I chose to punish Google directly by changing my default search engine to Bing.

Better and easier to simply change yur browser’s auto search to another search engine —and send a letter to Google and their advertisers. Or someone should get up a chain petition that would go automatically to advertisers.

I’ve already changed my browsers and don’t use Google or Chrome anymore.
