I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. This is a unique way of looking at things, if a bit paranoid. As others said, there are ways to block ads without using an adblocker.

That being said, I used to go to Facebook /just for the ads/ because they were always interesting. Now they kinda suck, dunno what happened in the last few years.

Perhaps because it's a bit non-sensical? Clicking on an ad because the picture looks nice in anticipation/hopes of being served more ads with a similar look? That has to be one of the strangest things I've heard regarding ads. This has to be a trolling post, doesn't it?
