It's a well understood part of human nature that it's very difficult to charge for something you previously gave away for free.
The vast majority of the web has been given away for free by being ad supported, that's never going to roll back, the expectation has been set.
Thankfully, the wider public might find ads irritating but they'd still prefer them over paying so ads aren't going away anytime soon.
- izzydata 3y agoI know it will never happen. At least not anytime in the near future. There is usually a group of people advocating that using an adblocker is like stealing or killing businesses. My counter argument is that I'm fine with that. Don't offer something for free when I have complete control over how it is displayed on my end if you can't stay in business if I block some part of it. Everyone on the planet should use ad blockers for their own protection and to actively change the internet to a non-ad business model. I will never stop using ad blockers and I don't feel bad about it in the slightest.
