&gt;We want to offer you a way to support us while also addressing those concerns<p>Then actually address those concerns, rather than just telling us to ignore them (whitelist) or pay up.<p>I don&#x27;t care about ads, really.  Yes they are a petty annoyance, but I grew up with magazines, newspapers, TV, and radio all supported by ads.  However, the way they presented their ads was markedly different.<p>* Their ads didn&#x27;t invite dozens of third parties to spy on everything I do.<p>* Their ads didn&#x27;t break into my home, rifle through my things, and set up operations doing potentially illegal activities in my basement.<p>* When I wanted to read a 1-page article in their magazine, yes they showed me some ads, but I didn&#x27;t have to pay the full cost of having a 20-volume encyclopedia delivered to my house just for the ads on that page.<p>Find a way to advertise without constantly assaulting the reader.  Actually address your readers&#x27; concerns instead of downplaying them and knowingly causing harm to your readers.  You have other options.  Taking them, and proving that you can be successful without being evil, that would make a difference.
