We have the full right to assert any moral stance. Whether others find it "condescending" is really not my problem.
The reality is that the internet is not a good publication venue. There are lots of eyeballs and distribution is cheap, but getting people to pay is hard. That doesn't mean serving up advertisement is a moral response. Advertisement is met with ad-blockers and will continue to be. When that is too painful, people do skip the content.

Has his kind of blowhardy stance ever convinced anyone? >When that is too painful, people do skip the content. not enough that non-mainstream news sites haven't stopped serving ads. That's the point. You can only control you, not someone clicking a result off google or reddit, nor a million dollar website that has paid employees.
