> If there was any other revenue stream, Facebook would’ve used it.

I like to think that Facebook has too much of a desire to make money to employ less lucrative models of revenue. Maybe that's a point we should talk about. Is there a model that might generate less-but-enough money for the website?

> why don’t you benefit them as well by simply removing your ad blocker.

I'm trying to understand a model that works for both parties. Targeted advertising doesn't work for me.

I agree entirely, which is why I'm donating time and effort to brainstorming a better solution. I mention in another comment something about a third-party members club, entirely voluntary (with minor perks), where members would subtly assist the vendor to help mitigate some kind of cost, somewhere. The kinks have no been fully fleshed out.
