I mean, there's the part where advertisers pay for a huge chunk of the web? Maybe you're ideologically opposed to that and think websites should only have crowdsourcing-type revenue sources, but in the meantime website owners need to pay the bills.

Most of the web is unpaid UGC. > Maybe you're ideologically opposed to that and think websites should only have crowdsourcing-type revenue sources, but in the meantime website owners need to pay the bills. That's up to those website operators to figure out and not the concern of the user's browser. It only becomes the browser's concern when those website operators try to enrich themselves by manipulating the user into acting against their best interest via ads, in which case the only correct response is to block those ads. For the most part, the website operators that are in it to make a living are simply scammers that will not be missed.
