It seems to me that defrauding online advertisers has been a global sport since advertising started polluting the web.

If only this could get so massively out of hands that advertisers gave up altogether on polluting the web and wasting internet bandwidth and computer resources. Then maybe google would become a search engine again and provide relevant search results, at the very least the internet would be less a global surveillance tool it has become people don't care enough or are too clueless.

Google is an advertising company. They would go out of business with the rest of their competition. It would be fantastic if the worlds brightest engineers worked on something who's goal was not to drive impressions and clickthrough. But solving the worlds real problems doesn't pay as well.
