As we happened to be talking about advertisements on OSNews yesterday, and the use of Adblock, I stumbled upon a blog entry by Adblock Plus' developer, who is trying to improve Adblock in such a way that it is less harmful to webmasters. His suggestion is surely intriguing, but will it fly wth Adblock users?

I don't really believe the "ads are used to pay for hosting and bandwidth"
On the contrary, in 99% of websites that have ads, the site only exists so the webmaster to get actual revenue from ads. This is usually a LOT more that server/bandwidth costs.
In fact, many news websites exist because someone likes to get profit from teh internet.
if you make hosting/bandwidth free and remove ads, many news sites would close lol. It's ugly but it's a fact.
