I think the internet is broken in this regard. Adverts and all of the tracking is horrific. Pay walling a website for $5-10 a month is not appealing for those who only want to read a couple of articles a month. But, without monetization good content from people who are good at their job will disappear.
Don't get me wrong, I'm team adblock everything but I am willing to pay if there is a new sensible solution to the problem figured out.
