I agree. It sounds selfish, but I wish adblocking didn't go to mainstream. I'm "guilty" of it too, I installed adblockers to all of my friends and family. The current situation is just extortion in the end - pay to whitelist. And native advertising. Someone who is (unfortunately) in the in the business a little bit, it's horrible. You'd be surprised how many tweets, facebook or blog posts by your favourite people ("influencers") are just paid advertisement. Yes, you fell for it too -- people who say advertising doesn't work for them. The future, in my eyes, is very very dark. Think of HN where people submit stories to only paid content. Sure, you Silicon Valley guys can pay for it, but not young and poor lurkers (I was one of them when I started reading HN) from not the richest countries in the world. I hate ads and now I hate adblocking... and I don't know a good solution.
