Ads pay in different forms. Some pay per click (PPC), some pay per thousand impressions (CPM).

Clicking with the intention of helping doesn't help. Only clicking with genuine interest helps.

I don't think the question was about whether this would actually help the advertisers. (I suspect it was rhetorical.) Of course the defense will now be harder to execute for anyone who reads this thread.
