I unapologetically use an adblocker and have for as long as I can remember. The critics say, "well then you can say goodbye to all the great content on the internet. Hosting costs money. You have to pay for it somehow."

I disagree. I don't see why corporations feel they have a right to exist online and to profit from it.

If you want to put something on the internet, cool. Maybe I'll look at parts of it. I don't owe you anything for it, though. I pay to host my content online because I like to share things for other people to see. Some of my friends do the same. Lots of people on this website do the same.

If you find that people consume the content you share in ways that don't fit your liking, you should feel free to stop putting content out there. But I don't owe you anything as a reader, no matter if you're just an individual or if you're News Corp.

Who has made the bulk of content on the internet? PEOPLE. That is why the internet is so amazing, the people have the ability to share anything easily. No medium has ever had that ease of publication. It will continue to shape the foundation of society, in small ways at first, but in bigger ways as we go forward.

Unfortunately in our current model, we haven't matured to the point where we can decentralize things enough. We need websites (and their implied business models) like reddit, facebook, twitter, google, and so on to achieve all the great things that the internet and computers can do. You want to translate some text? You better be willing to send that data to someone else. You want to talk about news articles? You better be willing to send that comment to some central server. You want to share a video? Unless you have the wherewithal to set up a server on your personal line, you better be willing to send that to YouTube.

I'm very confident that this can and will be fixed with time.
