We use a tab at the top of the article to link to the ad page. No one has to click on it; but if you're looking for buying, or investigating products, you will.
The click-through rate would be tiny and therefore so would the revenue.
I would think the click-through rate would be above-average. People who want ads are more likely to click on those ads (also less likely to be using ad-blocking software).
They won't be people that want ads, though. They'll be people that want ad revenue for us. If they click, they'll be clicking to get us revenue and not actually buying, which advertisers stopped falling for years ago.
1) Why the huge assumption of bad faith? I don't think you're correct that people would sign up for ads who don't want ads. As you correctly point out, there would actually be no long-term benefit to anyone for doing so. 2) If the payment isn't per click, why would people click through "to get us revenue"?
