  > They'll just keep moving the target, it would be indistinguishable from regular content. Not everyone will have the ability to do that effectively, or even have a platform for it, and users can simply avoid sites where native advertising is obvious. If some advertising just becomes unobtrusive, and most of it disappears, then that may still be a win-win for a lot of people. This isn't a fight site owners can win with technical measures or deception - unlike every other form of mass media, the web is designed to put as much control over content presentation in the hands of the consumer as the producer, and users are now aware that advertising is something they can opt in to. If sites offer content with high enough quality, they might be able to convince people to let their ads through, assuming those ads don't interfere with user experience too much. But just trying to sneak it past people isn't going to work forever, any more than ad banners did.

    It's not hard to do by any means. Put it randomly inline with other content and don't give it any special attributes. How is any blocker going to catch that without hogging my cpu and killing my battery, or worse, sending details about the page im viewing off to a third party?
