By clicking random ads you may be actually encouraging publishers to keep deploying them?

Short-term, certainly. Long-term - negative ROI's would drive away the real customers, who are paying for those ads.
Or at least that's the "Optimism set to 11" plan.

Evil plan: Create a network distributed system (kind of like Seti@Home) specifically for doing this. If there was enough participation to make a difference the advertisers would have to invest in countermeasures which could lead to an arms-race that ultimately erodes all profit from it.
The profile on you in various advertising scumbags databases will eventually be so inaccurate it will be worth the cost to store in a rust platter
Over indulge the scummy advertisers. Cost them as much money as possible for worthless clicks. They crossed so many lines over the last couple of decades people should be embarrassed to work in that industry. Honestly if i did I would lie and say I do animal experimentation. It's basically the same thing after all
