Similarly, I want to be able to show my users ads. They're not really bad ads, but otherwise I lose money on providing service. And then we risk the "youtube paradox": keep showing more ads to your ad watching users so they subsidize the growing number of ad blockers, but this causes more to use ad blockers so show even more ads.
