Comment on Will it ever get to a point where data is so over-harvested that it starts to lose value?

It has always been my understanding that sites and apps get paid X cents for displaying an ad, and Y cents (where Y is larger than X) whenever someone actually clicks an ad on their site. So this would in theory help the website.
