alt Hacker NewsDefinitely not. I don't want to pay for every single website I visit for example, it creates a chilling effect overall as to my want of visiting many different sites.

what if it was paid for as part of your internet subscription and you had more than enough credits for all your current internet usage?
wouldn’t it actually feel good to patronize websites you were interested in with actual direct value instead of everyone relying on spyware and obnoxious spam covering content directed at you?
1) Not every single site is displaying ads, e.g. Codeberg.org
2) aren't you paying indirectly anyways? (With only a part of the revenue actually landing in the bags of the operator of the site - another part is used to fund Google Chrome and people who design ads)
