HN is so oblivious about ad industry, it isn't even funny. The ad industry is moving towards action-based model of payment, where advertisers pay for the purchase, lead or download. This ad blocker will just provide more data about users to advertisers. Also if this succeeds, many small publishers will die and large publishers will accelerate the introduction of native ads. Also if this succeeds and most sites switch to paywalls, most poor people(billions of them) won't have access to quality content. The short-sightedness is so strong, I doubt the general ability of the HN community to reach an educated consensus on the topic of ad supported business models.
