If the only way publishers can make money is by screwing people over then maybe the whole business model is the problem and life would be better without all those blogs. Here's an alternative. Specialist sites sometimes sell ads directly to the advertisers without using a network. They can choose what they show, and often won't accept ads that don't relate to their users. Not really an option for a dilute gossip news blog though.
