This calculation somehow assumes that clicking banners on your free time equals lost money in terms of production.

If the average time for toilet visits per day is 12 minutes, we are losing 89.8 million hours a day collectively across Europe, and continuing the same logic in as in the article, with 25€/h this sums to 5% of EU GDP being spent down the drain.

Maybe we should focus efforts on a productivity programme to ban bathroom visits?

That's very much apples and oranges. One is a biological necessity, while the other is a consequence of surveillance capitalism.
