I'd happily display ads on websites that aren't incredibly obnoxious. I think ad-blockers need to have some sort of ad-policy or vetting system in place that when websites conform to them, I as a user get prompted with the option to turn ads on to support the website.

I'd much rather that than essentially have to pay out money to browse online.

This is exactly what AdBlock Plus started doing a couple years ago, and it was met with mass outrage and jumping ship to muBlock.

I was under the impression that AdBlock Plus started selling whitelist places and that's what user's became outraged over. I may be misremembering though, I only ever scanned post titles
