Rather uncharitable, no? The Atlantic doesn't bombard visitor with ads; they are considerate in maintaining the user experience. If people are reluctant to take a paid subscription, and consider Adblocking as righteous, how many options are left for publishers to monetise?

The Atlantic is willing to provide their content on terms of subscription or viewing ads. Your parent chooses not to accept those terms and not view their content. 'ryandrake isn't expressing an expectation that the Atlantic provide content without ads and without a subscription and is willing to not have access to the Atlantic content. This seems completely reasonable and fair to me.

Wait, let me get this straight: It's uncharitable to choose not to visit a web site due to not agreeing to its terms?

Ads and trackers... I don't mind helping out The Atlantic but their advertisers want more than just to serve me up links and visuals, they want to harvest my browsing history.

It's called Patreon.

It's the only choice. Or they will be blocked, period.

Yes that's just what we need, more paymetons exclusive content.
