Everyone needs to aggressively block ads so that there's more motivation to develop better monitization approaches.

Careful what you wish for. I bet the Verizons and Comcasts of the world have some ideas for monetizing web content. Buy the "sports package" and you get ESPN on your TV and access to sports blogs on the web.

It's entirely unclear that will be affected by adblocking, however - they would do this anyway if they thought they could.

If ad-supported blogs are a viable alternative, then there were always be ad-supported blogs. If it isn't, well, some of them will probably go on with tip jars. But some won't.
