Ad Fraud on LinkedIn
I don't quite understand the economics of the ad fraud on the closed (on site) LinkedIn ads.
How does a third party (not LinkedIn, and not the advertiser) make money from this?

I don't think they are intending to make money on the clicks itself, but having a bot click on ads would seem to make it appear more "real" and less likely to get discovered.
