Adblock Plus tried to address this but was given a ton of grief for it. I thought the idea of having an acceptable ads filter was smart.

Maybe "display this resource text-only" rather than "hide this resource" would be a reasonable compromise.

An acceptable ads standard, in other words.

Adblock could be off by default and if enough people 'vote' a site as bad by activating it for that site, then it will become 'on' by default.

And the whole thing can be funded by selling lists of users who did/didn't disable the ads in cluster X, Y, Z...
