The biggest conspiracy theory would say that a bot clicking ads would help earn FB money.

I don't really suspect this to be true, Facebook CTR are incredibly low so if they are faking it they are doing it badly.

I suspect the most likely reason is some sort of spam scraper thing that visits every url or something. I would have assumed Facebook would be well protected against this sort of thing in regards to charging advertisers.
