"Ads disable the concept of people paying for something they consider valuable" Nobody pays for news anymore, so sites are forced to get money through ads. The concept that everything needs to be free has also led to the abundance of advertisements. "You only need facts and journalism to build trust with your customers so they might consider paying you directly." In the past 5 years, many local, paid, newspapers have gone out of business. It nearly destroyed the entire industry. People don't pay for news anymore because of the Internet. It had the same shakeup the music industry had a decade ago. I seriously doubt you would be happy paying a fee for every website you visit. This is what would need to happen if we get rid of advertising completely. I feel like many people want it both ways: a quality product for $0 dollars and no advertisements of any kind. It's just not realistic.
