Privacy protections undermine that, since it would required individual targeting of ads (unless you could afford to pay for any ads shown to everyone in your demographics). You could try to form a coalition to do group purchases, but it's a hard thing to start, since the individual benefits would be small until you got a large number of members, whereas an adblocker is free and more effective. Plus, the ad network could still track you, which is one of the problems people have with ads.
