You're not really engaging with the conversation, which is kind of my entire point about the group of people (like yourself) who say "ads bad" and that's it.

I gave a case where advertising allowed me to write a blog for years, without paying any money. Indeed people make these choices all the time - mobile games are a good example where people will not want to purchase the game for a dollar but are happy to watch an ad every 30 minutes.

Unless you're willing to accept that advertising has some potential value I don't think there's any point in us discussing solutions.
