None of this solves the fundamental problem with ad-centered revenue models, which is that advertising has driven down the quality of content by forcing sites to optimize for cheap clicks. Even if you're blocking ads, you're still being affected by them, because they're driving the strategies of the sites you visit and defining the metrics by which they judge their own success. Don't get me wrong; this is an improvement, and a welcome one in my opinion. Pre-stitials in particular were never anything more than a slimy way to get around pop-up blockers. But ultimately the internet needs a new way to make money. I don't claim to know what that is, unfortunately, but I think the problem is clear.
