 I try to post mostly positive things, which can be hard these days, but here's a good one:

https://adnauseam.io/

It is a browser extension that silently clicks on all those ads, polluting the advertisers' data streams. 

If used by enough people, it would mean that, to the advertiser, it'll look like they got lots of clicks buy not lots of sales.

This means the value of clicks will go down, which means less profit for people who serve up ads.

If you promote this extension, you will be hurting American companies who are just trying to make ab buck. Companies like Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Google, X, and others. You wouldn't want to make life more difficult for them... would you? 😈🤣
