I wouldn't mind ads so much if I had an easy way to pay $0.05 to get rid of them for a day, or $0.50 to get rid of them for a month. As far as I can tell, that's way more money on a per user basis than companies are making on selling ads.

For the last decade or so, I have used a cookie marked on bidmanager that buys myself at a high enough bid CPM that I basically always win. I serve myself a blank ad.

  This is brilliant. Roughly how much does it cost?

    It's generally less than ten dollars a month.

While I would like something like this too, the $0.05 per day or $0.50 per month is the real problem. Would you be willing to pay $1.00-2.00 per day? $30-60 per month? These are the typical subscription prices sites need in order to stay in business. There seems to be no midpoint where the sites get the money they want or need that is also going to be acceptable to the consumer. Advertising, for some reason, does pay enough.
