I was referring to scraping content, not ads. Not sure what benefit ad scraping provides and to what end ?

1. Sell data to ad regulators

2. Sell data to competitors of the advertisers, turning online advertisement less effective in long term and easier in short term.

3. Sell ads data to activists etc...who will sue the company running misleanding ads and defrauding consumers.
