Can someone explain what the point of silently clicking the ads is? Why not just block them? Does clicking the ads somehow aid in blocking or is it a way of fighting back against perceived abuses by advertisers?

The idea is to mess with advertisers' metrics. If people using ad blockers are peaceful protesters, AdNauseam is trying to riot.

Assuming they aren't detected as fraudulent, it's messing with more than metrics. The advertisers, in many cases, are paying per click.

Edit: Not making a judgement here, just clarifying that the extension is doing more than messing with metrics.

The advertisers don't mind paying for disruptive, intrusive, battery-draining, bandwidth-consuming, rich-media advertisements, so I don't mind draining their wallets.
