Re: Misses the point
"Until then, how do you support the websites you rely on?"
A lot of sites now have code that will spot an ad-blocker in use and deny the content until you disable it, and for those sites I simply don't bother using them.
Advertising is to sell stuff, when I'm in the market for something I'll go looking for items on Amazon first, it's bit like the Gratton catalogue ( but without the bra pages all faded and thumbed! ) 'cos it has a ton of stuff and no ads. Amazon want me to buy so I only get shown stuff like the thing I'm looking for.
I do not want to go looking for some GO example code snippets and be bombarded with ads for the latest mobile game or some other tat I'm not interested in, you're wasting your time and money 'cos the very last thing I'd ever click on would be an online ad box. I'd rather click on the links from Nigerian Princes who've sent me emails before I'd click on a advert on a webpage!
