Someone does need to watch and click the ads though, otherwise many of those websites you're visiting (and apps you use) will have to shutdown.

That's fine by me. I visit

* My local news paper's webpage (which i pay for).

* HN which does not have ads

* neogaf which do not have ads

* youtube / twitch which I pay for (and block whatever else with ublock)

* Email (through google apps which I pay for).

On the rare occasion I visit something else I make damn sure to to have ublock / noscript active.

When it comes to apps, I pay for them. If there are no pay/ad free version I don't use them, it's that simple.

Doesn't HN implicitly have ads in the form of job postings/etc from YC partners?
