Op wants to give some sites something, and others not. As far as I understood it, this is not about facebook*. This is about random websites
Even if I would use facebook, facebook wouldn't ever get money from ads from me because I don't click on random stuff that pops up on a page. If I'd want to give back something to facebook, I'd need to send them money.
I thought it was about having some browser extension that clicks ads on sites without showing the ads to the user. Like a kind of "best of both worlds" for adblocking. So if it's some blog they read often the ad revenue is probably more like $1 per year.
If you were to use Facebook they can make money off your views even without clicks, just not as much.
Agreed :)
