Attack of the Ad Blockers

Sounds close, but not quite:

Contributor works on millions of sites and on all of your browsers and devices. Some sites will show fewer ads than others, and often times, a thank you will appear instead of an ad.

If I'm paying, I don't want any ads

Definitely! Nor do I want Google tracking what I'm looking at. Nor do I like the extortion model of, "Well pay us and we won't annoy you."

What about signing up for that and continue blocking the ads?

I personally would rather not pay anything and get an ad, sans tracking, which worked just fine for the content providers of yore.

Does native advertising work?

It just did.

You don't have to if you pay enough.

Basically, it works by having you bid for that ad space. If someone else outbids you, their ad shows.

I'd much rather be denied access to the content if I'm outbid. I'm bidding to view the media, not auctioning my eyeballs. My eyeballs are not for sale, at any price.
