Yes, I fully realize that, and in the end, I'm still just going to stick to my adblock/umatrix&friends solution, without doing anything more. :/ It's just an idle urge to somehow hasten the demise of the "Age of the Ad".
An article I read sometimes last week made an unflattering, but rather astute comparison that a site which relies on ad networks for their income is like a streetwalker - selling out integrity integrity for money, competing with or against shady people (the scammy porn sites, the automated link-farms with Markov-generated pseudo content, etc.). And if one has to "interact" with sites like that, it is smart to use protection (adblock&friends).
I wish I could find the article. I'm quite certain it was linked here on HN one or two weeks ago.
