All this absurd hand-wringing about adblockers would be very easily addressed if content providers would, collectively just offer paid subscription options. Say, a Spotify Premium for the written word.
I don't like ads, and I'm willing to pay to not see them. But nobody seems to want to take my money.
- Zikes 11y agoThe problem with that model is that there are too many competing companies. As it is, you have to subscribe to half a dozen online publications if you don't want to hit a paywall for every other link posted to HN. But even if there were a single service to manage those subscriptions, I would lament the monopoly. Honestly, I think ads are the solution, but only if they drop all the anti-consumer BS associated with them.
