Call me idealistic, but I would rather pay for content whenever I decide to, rather than being spied in order to pay for my “free” content.

Most sites offer some form of subscription service. Ours is currently 3$ a month and less than 5% seems to be using it. Most of our users seems to view it as a donation service though, might be something for any psych-major to do a study on.

This works great until the owner decides to take money to do things like "sponsored content", or advertorials. Does this get shown to the people who payed to have ads removed?
Ars Technica recently ran into this, with a major backlash against a Chevy advertorial which wasn't explicitly marked as such. Read the pages and pages of angry subscribers: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2017/07/why-did-chevy-bring-its...
