while I hate ads as much as everyone else what do you propose funds all the sites people use that are high in operating costs? I doubt many people will pay five bucks a month for every site they use. The internet will just be more retro, which I think would be fine.

It was all ad based, just you could pay it forward to the site themselves. The problem was that this clean generate any money due to no click through and the target audience wasn’t marketable.
