Basically tells advertisers and trackers that you click on every single ad (a common metric used to gauge interest), so it's harder for them to tell what you're interested in and build a profile of you
Seems like not clicking on any ads should have the same outcome...
I don't see ads, so who knows what is in my profile.
Worse actually, since we usually visit a subset of the web, and by "fake clicking" all the ads of all the websites we visit, we actually give google a pretty good profile of the websites we visit, and that's bad. Fake clicking is not as private as people think it is.
