So, lets make this ad blocking as a real ad blocking. Every ad, advertising, etc. is blocked by sophisticated software. For example no offers about subscription, webshops are blank, etc.

But for real, people want to see advertising and ads. The issue is more like that they want to be more in control; for example they expect and want to see relevant advertising about iPhone when they google about it (like webshops selling it).

For any site to succeed financially there has to be ads and advertising. If nothing else, advertising and ads about making donation. See my sig. It is an ad.
