Re: How about
Personally, I would say that the choice is not to use Salon.com for information if there is a clear requirement that you must generate ad revenue for them one way or another.
I'm not defending their decision to go down the crypto mining route but...
They are providing content which has a financial cost to them to generate, host, etc.
You are consuming it, so presumably it has some value to you
It seems only fair that you reciprocate by giving them something in return. Their default position is to expect you to allow some advertising material to be displayed
By installing an ad-blocker you're actively declined to allow that reciprocal "payment" to take place, so it seems fair enough for them to look for some other mechanism by which to recoup their costs.
I'm setting myself up for a multitude of downvotes from freetards, but honestly - if a content provider doesn't get anything in return for their content, how can you expect them to be able to keep up doing what they're doing?
