Think of ads as spam. There are a ton of spam filters, nevertheless spam cannot be eliminated completely. Ads are even harder to remove since they represent a revenue stream. THE revenue stream online.

ad blockers have a tough fight to gain widespread usage, specially because ads are the de-facto monetization strategy, plus they are so easy to use.

A service such as yours offer the value of not showing ads, which for some niche is something worth paying for, so a subscription based service seems natural.

The way you describe things reminded me of a fairly recent Hacker News post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8630972

It's a about a blog entry of a self taught programmer who was changing technology stacks back and forth, I suggest you to read it.
