Ad networks promise to do something about the awful adverts you're all blocking, like, real soon

Y'know, what goes around, comes around.

Yup. In my case its now too late. I finally gave in and ABP'd my whole estate.

The only possible reason I can think of to stop blocking adverts, is if they pay me to do so. I just don't want it otherwise, and I doubt if much that I value on the net would disappear without advertising as the cost of running a webserver is so low as to be negligible.

Yes, I understand things like El Reg need to be funded, but I'd happily pay a small subscruption for that, provided the articles remain of value. Most web sites I visit tend to be run by hobbysits who make little from advertising anyway.

Who is to blame for my blocking the adverts after 20+ years web use? Well, it's the advertisers themselves, so it is no use them complaining now.
