There's some adblockers focused on disrupting tracking and those will both intentionally load ads and automatically click on every one of them for you.

Neat idea, I'd worry that the tracking is worse than the benefit.

That said I routinely let long YouTube ads play while I go off to do something else. Personal best was circa 1.5hour ad!

Someone told me that costs them big bucks so long as it's not skipped.
