Up to you whether you want to limit your answer to software that is possible/realistic

    Okay so you know how Ad Naseum is a thing? It’s like uBlock but it clicks on ads to fuck with advertisers?

    I wish we had something like that for youtuber sponsors built on top of SponsorBlock. Like imagine it finds the affiliate link, signs up for this shit using a burner email, and then the bot doing this deletes itself.

    It makes the youtuber look bad, it makes the brand look bad, and you feel like a gigachad for doing it.

    Is it possible? Maybe, but realistically I believe this is a form of fraud, so I imagine no one would do this, BUT I WISH IT DID EXIST!

      Just replied to a comment above but yeh I’d love something like this. Something that punishes or profits (in my favour) from pushy advertising.

      This should not be fraud. It’s simple resistance.
