     If I read a newspaper or blog I read a lot, I can give them some of my money, or I can allow their ads, giving them money from businesses.

     @awg I can choose to get rid of ads I don't want to see on the web. What I'm choosing here is whose money to give the paper? Mine or theirs?

     @antanicus in theory the point of advertising is to tell the public where a product is available. Newspapers are ad-based, but Javascript
