I could easily some universal way of paying to not see ads could be both more profitable for websites and less expensive for me. Because what I'm currently paying for mobile data and bandwidth at home in order to compensate for all the waste introduced by telemetry and ads probably amounts to a good bit more than what websites are making by serving me ads.
But at this point the trust is so broken that I probably wouldn't pay for it even if it did exist. Because I'd expect whatever beacon is being used to say, "Paid up, don't serve ads" to just be used as another way to de-anonymize me by the less scrupulous advertisers. Which, as far as I can tell at this point, is pretty much all advertisers.
