First came NetScape and all was good.
Then came Internet Explorer, but apparently bundling a web browser with an operating system was bad, ok.
Then came Google's Chrome trying to profit from a web browser with ads, and that was deemed 'bad' again.
Then it was not sufficient for the browser manufacturers to push no ads, but the consumer demands that the browser block ads from websites.
Now the browser developer and the third party ad blocker have some fight over who gets to serve clients that not only don't pay, but don't want advertisers to foot the bill either.
I have no sympathy for users that don't want to pay for software, or for developers that cater to that demographic. Enjoy fighting for crumbs.
Nobody is forcing you to put your website on the open internet, you're doing it because you're making a value judgement about how much money you can make by not closing or paywalling your system. Nobody cares what your business model is (that's your business and your decision barring illegality), and if it's not working for you, you should change it or shut down. Why should anyone have any sympathy for you?
