Recently, I encountered arguments to let websites access around one percent of your CPU resources to mine a cryptocurrency, obviously in the users consent. I think this might be a reasonable solution to the "uncreative capitalist". In my situation, I know I could easily spare one percent in exchange for no ads, but I'm sure not everyone would be in that situation.

Diminished mobile phone battery life and environmental concerns are the standard counter-arguments to this approach.

It's also applicable for blocking ads on mobile phones too. They use too much bandwith and CPU, collectively.
