I’m not sure we are talking about the same thing here. User ignorance doesn’t generate revenue. Ads generate revenue. This is why (and how) sites like iMore exist. This is why half of the sites I visit show me a pop up asking me to whitelist them on my ad blocker. Print magazines and newspapers relied on both ads and subscription fees. If internet sites relied on users paying subscription fees they’d probably go out of business.
