Please read the article first. That's not the intent here. The goal would be to funnel the money to the creators instead of using a bunch of middlemen. And, the main goal now is to make people thing about the ridiculousness of the current state of things.
I'm speaking as someone who spent a decade working on helping publishers monetise their content without the unnecessary bullshit. I share your sentiment.
One of my proudest career achievements was to get uncle Murdoch pay me to build an ad blocker (ended up quitting the job and taking a break to work on my mental health, but I still thing it was a valuable fuck you experience).

Sometimes my favourite, Simon Whistler, will make the ad funny and worth watching. Worst case scenario, fast forward a bit.
