That's a realistic position, and I can't fault you for that. I was responding mostly to "What do you have against a good old fashioned cat and mouse game?" I don't like where we are going, but I don't necessarily see a way to exert enough force to stop it, nor know what stopping it would result in. I don't think we'll actually end up with paid content going away, but it sure would be nice if we could skip a few years of bullshit half-solutions and fast-track something that works, whatever that ends up being. :/
The only way the model is going to change is if everyone adopts ad blockers and anti-anti solutions. And that's not going to happen. So I've got to deal with what we realistically have until someone comes up with this mythical better model and makes it work.
I can't change the model, but I can change what my computer does about it.
