There’s no free lunch, the ads provide you with the ability to see things on the internet for free.

I think FLOSS people ought to disagree with you.

Also, this very site has no ads. Neither does wikipedia. Nor librivox, or Project Gutemberg...

Many of these projects are funded by sponsors that couldn’t exist without internet ads.

As I said.. I would prefer to pay for valuable content. Then the rest splits into two categories. Truly free (maybe with donations, or totally free) and a load of crap content I don't need to see anyways.
