It's not about money, or entitlement, or any of this, it's that displaying advertisements generally hurts your user experience, and makes your site/app/service less appealing. Take Hulu's Paid service. In no other context would I pay money for a product that randomly stops doing what I've asked, and instead does something loud, obnoxious, and unnecessary that I don't want at all for 5-10 minutes total each hour. Although it's acceptable for a free service (as you're paying by letting your TV scream at you for a while), it's not something I'd ever pay for. So, until Hulu offers a tier, even at a different pricepoint, where their UX doesn't suck, it's just a non-starter for me (and many others). Whining about "It's our business model" or "It's the way it's always been!" doesn't change the fact that you designed your service to suck by building it on bad advertising. You are not allowed to purposefully code a shitty UX to get paid, and then pretend your site/service/product doesn't suck because "you've gotta have ads!". All that widespread adblocking will do is hasten the reckoning of shitty UX. You will either provide a thing where the UX is good and you still make money through some means, or you will provide a thing with bad UX, and it will die (whether because users fixed the UX with adblocking, or because users just never came back).
