My local news used to offer an ad-free experience for about $10/mo. I happily paid it. One day they updated their site and starting nagging me to turn off my ad blocker. Wouldn't let me read anything. I canceled that day and told them why.

Now they get $0 a month from me. They keep begging me back with $5/mo offers. Nope. That bridge has been burned.

Similar experience with my local newspaper also. They don't get it. We don't want ads and their content is not worth the slap in the face of paying for and then getting shown ads in return.
