Have you seen the Acceptable Advertising manifesto [1]? Sites like reddit and stack exchange have signed up. Essentially AdblockPlus one of the big two adblocking plugins has this manifesto where ads are not garbage, animated, annoying etc. won't be blocked.

My guess is that so many users installed adblockers because of obnoxious ads on a few websites they visit without realising that it removes the non-annoying 'acceptable ads' that support the sites they love. Hopefully something like the acceptable ads manifesto will help stem the tide of quite frankly shitty ads .

AdBlockPlus also charges a fee for whitelisting, which I oppose on principle even though I think I'd probably qualify.

I have never and will never (ever!) click on any ad. So it doesn't matter that ad-block is removing non-annoying 'acceptable ads'. I never click them, so the sites I love will never get any revenue anyway...
