So avoid sites with ads?



No.


Why not? Do you prefer they keep making the ads worse to compensate? Or they paywall more? Or make the ads 'native' and indistinguishable from useful content?

People don't want to work for you for free.


> Why not?

Because I don't have to.

> Do you prefer they keep making the ads worse to compensate?

They'll only be punishing users that haven't installed uBlock Origin yet.

> Or they paywall more?

No objection to that.

> Or make the ads 'native' and indistinguishable from useful content?

If I figure out someone is doing that, I'll never trust them again. I'll literally blacklist the site and if I see it posted here or anywhere else I'll point it out.

They should start charging money then. Return 402 Payment Required instead of a free HTML page. If they send me ads, I will delete them. I won't be losing even one second of sleep over the matter. I'd delete real life ads too if could get away with it.
