The reality is that few people will do this as long as it's optional. The masses are short-sighted. For anything like this to work, a publisher needs to block the display of their content if ad-blocking is in place. They could bring up something that says "you have one of two choices: go to <Google contributor-like network> and pay, or disable your adblocker". If people run into this enough, they'll do one or the other.


Actually you just need to hold down the refresh button to be able to reload with content blockers temporarily disabled.
