AdTrap removes ads between your modem and router

I am willing to see ads in return for the free services I get. I get free TV shows without cable and free movies on Youtube. Really, what business model does this kickstarter project advocate?

One where ads are not so annoying people go to the trouble of buying this and setting it up. Malware ads, video ads, ads deliberately designed to fool people into thinking they have a virus and need to CLICK NOW! are all reasons why people would be considering going to the immense trouble of getting this little piece of gear and making it work for them.

There will always be new bad ads- so that's not a valid argument

So there will always be people who block ads, then. It's not an argument so much as a simple case of cause-and-effect.
