The article for not ask for ad-free documents. Admittedly, personalized ads do not work well without Javascript.

  The Web of Documents would eliminate subscription models entirely (unless we resort to HTTP Basic Auth), so that leaves non-personalized advertising as you said. Unfortunately that seems to only work when your content has a specific audience that can be profitably targeted without personalization, plus being notable enough so that advertisers suitable for your audience would notice your site and partner with you. Doesn't work for most ad-supported websites if you ask me.

      There are way more random internet publications than TV stations/channels and sustainably run physical magazines.
