alt Hacker Newsehh, subvert is a stretch. But yes, you too can be a minor accessory to scams run by thieves to rob advertisers, with enriching the world's largest ad company as a side-effect. Not exactly a Robin Hood situation given that tons of the advertisers being robbed are just normal small developers trying to get their apps out there.
The more these small devs realize their ad spend is going to bots, the less they'll spend. Like the OP.
Once the word gets around, even small non-techy businesses will pick up on it.
