"You could have an option to not view advertising and instead pay a couple of pennies per page as you go," he told CNBC in a phone interview.

Orrrrrr the ad-blocker would just keep on using the software?

And before someone states how there are scripts to detect ad blockers, think about it for a moment; I'm sure a blog or website with ads would see a decrease of literally about 75% of their readers who would be annoyed to be forced to pay or turn their ad blockers off.

Well, personally I already turn off my adblock in some sites.

And better 75% less readers than 100% of reader who bring no profit because they block the adds Sad

We might as well call it a no solution after all. People won't pay to view/read a page (very few really do it so far in order for them to access premium content) and if given to make this proposition, happen then can't really see it's effect (like at all). Users will just do what their doing now (blocking the ads).

exactly there is always going to be free stuff available which will lead the traffic to the places where they provide it for free.

I adblock. And you're right, there are an increasing number of sites blocking me. Am I gonna pay to access what they've got? No. I'll look for the info elsewhere. If the information I need is that vital then chances are it's already being charged for.

Or you can use anti-anti adblock script.
It is a simple list that detects adblocking detectors and block them

Works 90% of the time, even on faucets.
There is another option, firefox true privacy mode, it turns off almost all ads, only simple gifs are left alone.
google it, i might add that ublock orgin has this function in the options.

It's an interesting idea for sure but not thought out by the writer of this article.

If this is one of the many uses of bitcoin, we will need a big blocksize the handle the huge number of transaction per second. 1MB, or even the proposed 2MB will not be able to handle this.

This is actually an opportunity for a cryptocurrency designed for micro-payments. I know I'd consider favoring websites where I pay a very small amount/page to view text ad-free, without all the advertising sewage clogging up and frequently crashing my browser. This would be difficult to manage with traditional fiat-based systems, but a micropayment system based on a popular crypto could work well for this application.

I actually agree. The people writing the articles for those websites so Bitcoin could indeed be a good solution to this dilemma. I wouldn't mind paying a few pennies to use a website. I do hate websites that insist on CPA Lead shit in order to use their website.

sometimes i stream a movie off these www.free-tv-project.we.will.pop.up.1.million.adds.com websites. TONES of pop-ups

also one of my kids likes to play flash games, but often these flash games sites have pop-up and big flash ads that slow down the computer and confuse her.

if i could pay a small fee and not have any ads what so ever i'd do it...

A generation's grown up expecting something for nothing. No way will anything other than a tiny minority micro pay for content. They'll simply go elsewhere. The people working on this are flogging horse that died before it was born.

Well but the sites that are trying to block the add blocker is also increasing.
And I think that there will be no add blocker possible in some situations.
I mean even now add blocker can't block all the things.
And if there is a way to remove all the adds on your internet, I am sure people would pay for that!

Not sure how this is an ideal solution.I personally won't pay 0.00001BTC no matter how filtered the add is based on my requirements. Its true that the ad blocking softwares are reducing the spam and revenues but applying a micro system for personalized adds sounds too stupid to me.Afterall you can buy a add block for a few bucks rather than having a "micro payment system" floating around your pages.

Young but I'm not that bold

paying to stop seeing ads while browsing a website is not the solution ! even if this will be paid with bitcoin
what leads people to use ad blocker software is the websites owners who are putting dozens of ads and pop ups in a single webpage and they do not care for their visitors

Leave no FUD unchallenged

Not sure why it's taken them this long to report on an idea that's been floating around for a few years already. Also, I'm not sure I see the benefit of this part:

Quote

The blockchain, meanwhile, which is the underlying technology behind bitcoin that works like a huge, decentralized ledger recording every transaction, would be able to keep secure records of which pages are viewed and for how long.

There's literally no advantage I can think of that could be gained over that of a traditional, centralised database when it comes to storing information like that. Not everything has to go on a blockchain.
