>"But, this revenue model seems silly to me. Advertisers pay a premium in order to reach people in their specific demographic with disposable income. This idea of people paying to remove ads ensures that the audience for your ads are actually CHEAPER than the average internet audience." If you want to analyze it like that, it's far more accurate to say allowing users to remove ads by paying for the option negates the necessity for advertisers to be on your site in the first place. Invariably, it's more money for the middleman (in this case: the site offering a service), but if advertisers pay for ads, and users pay to remove those ads it's a figurative stalemate for the entire purpose of having a revenue service. Financially, it's win-win for the service provider, and that doesn't sit well with me.
