Users of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are exposed to fraudulent e-commerce and investment schemes, illegal online casinos, and the sale of banned medical products.
Try AdNauseam, it’s ublock with a twist, i became aware of it yesterday and what it does is it hides the ads but clicks on them and doing that denies the ad revenue, Luis Rossman explained much better.
That does the exact opposite of what you just explained.
Ads are paid based on a complex metric that generally boils down to number of times ad is displayed, divided by number of times ad is clicked.
Of course if the click-through rate is very high, that will be suspicious and the ad network might disable the showing site - that presuming the showing site is a third party. Since Meta is a first party, they won’t do that for obvious reasons. You don’t shut down profitable branches of your own business, do you.
No, the best trick is to just use regular adblock, and for apps, to use patched versions that exclude ads from feeds, etc., essentially hitting Meta where it hurts, the revenue generated from the services. When traffic stays the same, or even increases, but revenue drops, now THAT triggers a nice big emergency meeting.

How does the click deny ad revenue? The hosting site or search engine also gets paid when there i click.

Again, Luis Rossman explained it better, go watch his video on YT, video is new so it’ll be easy to find.
