Yes, of course. Even ad block plus has 'acceptable' ads. Especially in the case of Google, their ads are def 'acceptable' :)

Which is exactly why most friends and colleagues have switched to uBlock Origin or similar plugins.

Whitelisting is not the solution. Letting the entire industry die in the pit they've dug for themselves is the solution.

What happens to the freemium game industry?

I think opt-in, rewarded advertising is the path forward for the minority of publishers wise enough to learn to align with the end-user's goals. App monetization platform providers like Tapjoy -- who have customers on both supply side (publishers) and demand side (advertisers) might view end-user UX as the 3rd leg of a stool.

They stop taking good games and hitting them with the micro-transaction stick until they're awful?

Bring back the OLD PopCap. Let me BUY good games. I pay. I'll be happy to buy more.

Instead people are trying to make Candy Crush look downright saintly.

That seems like it will lead to some monopoly-style legal trouble
