Why, after all the algorithms, all the scientists, the years of research into shoving ads into our eyeballs, all the ways to get you to buy a product, in the green living hell has there not been an algorithm for "this guy has never clicked on an ad, he's always clicked on skip, maybe we should just leave him alone" and then stop inundating that guy with ads?
They don't get paid to STOP inundating you with ads.

You think it costs them anything to push an ad to you in particular? On an individual level, it doesn't even qualify as statistical noise.
You want them to incur costs to NOT push ads to you, based on both tracking and analyzing your past behavior WITH RESPECT TO THE ADS THEMSELVES.
They'd have to spend a ton and a half of money to implement this scheme, and I don't think they'd make their investment back in any reasonable time.
