That's how the original Google Contributor actually worked, it would remove Adsense ads from all websites running AdSense. You could even choose what to replace them with (eg pictures of kittens). Matt Cutts posted about it here in 2015: https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-contributor/ https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/google-contributor/ Apparently that model was a huge flop and people just didn't want it. The new version requires publishers to remove all ads (not just AdSense), which helps since many newspapers seem to have dropped AdSense & switched to Taboola & other ad networks. Which might be one reason Google is trying it again. (I expect the new Contributor will fail too, though. I think the majority of people just don't want to pay for online content.)
