The Internet population at large, however, doesn't. People would rather watch ads than pay and until it changes there will be many businesses online relying on ads.
I think it could undermine the monetary incentive social media drives out of hate speech and fake news, while users can still use these platforms (and sites in general) for their intended purpose.

" and will always block ads no matter what."
I don't mind smaller ads. Metafiler for example. But most websites are unusable without an adblocker.
Strangely I remember that when printed Newspapers were still big, the advertisement was one of the valuable parts of them.
what was never ok was the javascrap that is loaded along the advertisement image.... this is where all the creepy tracking and privacy invasion takes place.. . browser vendors have been absolutely fucking shit at providing end users with finer controls over what inside JavaScrap is allowed to be run...there have been addons over the years that have provided more finer grain control, and even the various ad blockers.
It's an social issue now because the industry that has grown around this constant tracking and surveillance doesn't give a fuck, infact they're practically funded by globalist scum to keep doing it. Goolagdo all evil mantra, being the worst offenders as they have always had the agenda of data collecting everything. With the likes of MSuck/Faceb0rg/twatter etc and even Moztard corp, all just pushing this insanity along. Never mind all the chum 'partners' involved.
