Is it possible to make an ad-blocker that loads (but doesn't display) the ads?

I love blocking ads because I feel that the modern web is basically unusable without one. I hear a lot of complaining about how blocking ads deprives companies of revenue. Is it possible to build an ad-blocker that requests the ads from the ad network server (so the websites get paid) but doesn't display them to the user? Does something like this already exist, perhaps as a setting in an ad-blocker plugin? I'm using uBlock Origin, for reference. Thanks!!
