    The advertising-as-income model is so baked into the internet now that not everything I use even offers paid tiers. That’s probably true for MOST of it. Further, not everything removes ads even after paying for it.

    Never mind the fact that I’ll sometimes visit a site one time in my life as part of a search result and then never again. I’m definitely not paying for that.
