The problem with selectively un-blocking individual sites is that it poses a management problem, plus it wouldn&#x27;t take many bad ads to come through to cause me to go back to just blocking everything.<p>I&#x27;m sorry, but this really is a case of &quot;this is why we can&#x27;t have nice things.&quot; I would rather give up all premium Internet content than to have to actually manage the problem or any of the purported solutions to the problem.<p>YouTube would be the hardest to give up, but most of my favorite producers have Patreons and their own video-hosting sites anyway, and I might even be able to eke out a profit helping the rest move too if they needed it. I can simply curate individual &quot;super-premium&quot; content creators and patronize them, leaving the likes of Wired and WSJ to their fates.<p>I already use TheBrowser and use their micro-payment service, but I only ever put $5 on it, there just isn&#x27;t that many paid articles. The content industry is extremely insistent on forcing advertising on me, sorry but no. Especially for high-volume news sites, the PITA factor far outweighs whatever insight I get from the news articles themselves.
