I pay my ISP $70&#x2F;month for a home internet connection.<p>I pay my mobile provider $40&#x2F;month for 2GB Data<p>I pay $100&#x2F;Yr to a hosting service for my ad-free web site and email for my business which will always be there while my business is running (as will the ad-free web sites of most other businesses I know of).<p>In addition to the above I pay various donations and subscriptions to certain sites I like and buy almost exclusively on line.<p>It seems to me there is plenty of money to keep the internet going without advertising.<p>To the multitude of news&#x2F;media&#x2F;blogs&#x2F;click-bait sites duplicating the same content and that rely on advertising for their business model then good luck to you all, unobtrusive advertising was and still is ok with me, but because of the bad-apples it is now in your face and I ad-block everything.
