My ideal Earth flag: a blue marble on white or black background.

I recommend Patreon vs. traditional Internet ads.

Then I know what Content Creators can budget in from month to month.

Plus people block ads in a variety of ways.

No the emperor's clothes are fantastic!

If I want content from content creators, I pay for it.

Ads is the old print way of getting paid.

Now, just restrict access and require a subscription. Have trial periods.

Why are you so focused on ads when it 1. Doesn't make sense if users can just block it and 2. There are better options for me to pay content creators?

If you aren't interested in my 'preference' you lose out. The customer is just trying to have a normal relationship here... Abusive forced ads are not normal... IMHO.

Quora requires registration to simply read it.

That's at least going to lose them viewers who don't want to bother.
