How do you disable or block the "suggested" crap

I am seriously considering a year without adblock and going out of my way to click as many ads as possible. Blocking is ineffective, it's time to fuck over the metrics

Most ad blockers will let you select an ad to block, and depending on how specific the selector is it might block other occurrences.

What you are thinking of exists: AdNauseam. It clicks on every single ad you see to disrupt the metrics.
