They're starting incredibly small with 10 publishers. Users have a bigger incentive to signup when ads will be removed from a large number of sites they visit. For example, if I just use Imgur, why don't I just upgrade to Imgur Pro for the same price, get the ads removed, and the extra Imgur perks? Now, if Google ads would be removed from a dozen of the most popular sites I visit, then yes, I'd consider it. I'm hoping this doesn't fail due to lack of publishers. Google has a tendency to lock everyone out for too long, so I'm worried it'll be another invite only flop.
