So the app gives fake ad views. That should eventually:

A) pollute the dataset that the ad networks use to build up profiles of users

B) negatively impact the business model of the ad networks.

If there's no negative impact on the user (phone stability, mobile data use, premium SMS charges), is this really a negative for the end user? I may need to install the apps and give them a 5-star rating!
