I don't like to be tracked. I don't like becoming a "lead" for some industry trying to sell me something I don't want.
This article in SlashDot gave me an idea. What if we all clicked on every single ad link on every page we visited. We could automate it as a "feature" of adblock.
The lead would be worth nothing if there were suddenly 20 million click throughs. It would work for about 15 minutes. The industry would change their algorithm to narrow the field again. But, still. It would cause a mad scramble. And that seems like a good thing to me.
