If the ad company was successful to get someone to click on the add, they should not be penalized if some people that click on adds have added Hosts.txt. I doubt if people that add the hosts.txt go around clicking on ads.

When a user clicks on a link, such is a
local action, one that instructs their browser to send a request for the resource identified by the link.
In this case, since the source of that resource is listed in the HOSTS file, the browser returns the resource specified there, rather than passing the request on to the cloud. I.e., the user's request never gets sent to the ad server, so that it cannot know about the click.
BTW, you should move your store's link into your Signature, so that it appears below your posts.
