> Yep. Stop the "in your face" ads, stop the tracking, and people are less likely to block the ads and the tracking. It is really simple as that. I think it's too late. Ads have an irreparable PR problem. As soon as users find out about the existence of Ad Blocking, they will simply enable it and never look back because they've been burnt by deceptive and intrusive advertising for far too long on the internet. Whitelists, exceptions, even the very act of even thinking about turning off their Ad Blockers, are things that only principled, technical users will ever bother with, and we all know they represent a mere rounding error on the total internet population. It will probably be a more fruitful effort to start exploring other alternative methods of monetization than to try to make Ads work again.
