I also block ads. But I also purchase several periodic publications - some print, some digital, none web-based. When I'm browsing the internet, I really think that I'm wasting my time since I already pay for and therefore have quality news content. I assume that many, like me, are browsing rather than working because we have focus issues. So here's another business model for someone to pursue. Rather than ad-block, let's have site-block but where that site that got blocked still receives a micro-payment from me. Why, you ask, would I want to pay a site that I didn't visit? Because I made an extra $20 that hour by not wasting time on the site, and I'm happy to give them $1 or 5% of those extra earnings. The fact that I'm somewhat serious here show you what a crazy game we've made for ourselves.
