> Sites demand subscription? blocked.

Odd. In the midst of a (well-deserved) anti-ad rant, you throw in the primary non-ad alternative and discard it.

> How much longer before advertisers realize how much they're getting ripped off?

A while longer, if the same people who reject ads are also the people who reject alternatives to ads. The advertisers can safely ignore those people's opinions.

(I'm not saying subscriptions are the answer. I don't have an answer. I'm just saying that companies wanting subscription money is not part of the problem where companies want to shove ads in our faces 24/7.)
