I'm sure Adblock works great. I'm interested in how the web works for people who don't care about technology, and it's a nightmare. Ad-supported software or web apps are a descending staircase of user-hate.

People will pay for content - but that content needs to be worth paying for.

You'd be lucky to find 1 in 1,000 to donate money out of kindness, even if you published an entire book on the Web and continued writing on matters of interest.

Byron and anyone else who agrees the web is kinda fucked: I'm working on spinning up a group or website where we can figure out where the web is broken, propose principles for a healthy web, and promote solutions by anyone or any company that adheres to those principles.

Email me if you'd like to participate.
