Snarkiness does not help.

Right now publishers make zero from me because I have a couple layers of ad blockers. If I'm willing to pay X for some number of ad-free articles, which does not have to be unlimited, then publishers would be making X dollars more.

Yup. That's why I don't pay for HBO, so I totally get it. If they want to make it $2, at least they'd get something from me. Until then, there's always Putlocker. Their loss, really.
HBO is not funded by ads. We are talking about removing ads with a micropayment of equivalent magnitude.

The energy spent feeling smart would be better directed at your reading comprehension.
