They didn't say they stopped tracking you, just that they didn't charge the advertisers.

But in that case it still looks like an effective way of fighting that business model.

Or to receive more aggressive advertising/you are using ad nauseum overlays.

Aggressively advertising to someone you know hates ads is stupid. They'll just boycott you in spite.

LOL. Of course they're still charging the advertisers.

That sounds correct, don’t pay ad placements, but do charge advertisers. Right up there with usual adtech morals.
