A bigger problem in my opinion is when ads become the primary focus of a site. When most sites I visit had ads that take up so much visual realestate that I cannot find the content I was actually after, then I will simply start using ad blockers. Sites which use ads appropriately are unfortunately caught in the crossfire. I suppose it would be handy to have ad-blockers not block by default, and rather users can add a domain to a 'black-list' (instead of a white-list which I won't remember to add sites to, as there is not reason to) if it uses scummy advertising practices, where this black-list could be tracked and users can, if they want, download the K-votes blacklist, which is a collection of domains which more than k users have blacklisted.
