I get privacy concerns and hate for ads, but what about "free" internet? Paywalls are a massive annoyance to me personally, and if ads were legislatively blocked, would I have to pay for each website I visit that previously relied on ads for $? Perhaps we could be making micro-transactions for each website visited via crypto (?)

Solutions for sending micro transactions to websites you visit have existed for over a decade[1], no cryptocurrencies or blockchains required.
