Plenty of content makers manage to sustain themselves without annoying ads. Just because it's so common doesn't mean we need to just accept it, or that it's somehow "immoral" for content consumers to avoid ads. Imagine if all content sites funded themselves via spam. When you viewed a site for the first time you'd have to verify your email address, which would then be spammed to oblivion. Would we tolerate that? Would we think it was immoral for people to do an end run around the spam?
