The only way out of this is to block advertising. I, personally, think that you should not have a website if you can’t pay for it yourself, but the only acceptable kind of website income is a paywall. If you just have “better advertising”, advertising will never go away. And I hate ads.
Consider this: every website where you block ads is now inaccessible to you. How did that belief work out?
And if everyone blocked ads and couldn’t see sites that insisted on advertising, how would that work out for the websites?
Totally fine. That website does not at all benefit from your presence if you’re not paying them in any way (unless it’s a social media website).
You might want to consider how expensive web hosting can be, depending on the content and traffic. A belief like that can shut out a huge portion of the world from being able to even bother with a web site. Even a simple blog can get very expensive due to traffic. Maybe not expensive enough for your average 1st world individual… But that still excludes a large portion of the population with internet access.
So? Is anyone who can’t afford one legally obliged to have a website?
