    It's time for someone to write an adblocker that's harder to detect.

        it's time for someone to write an easy way to pay for content—with no user friction

        is there any evidence that user pay could replace ad revenue if friction was removed? Just curious.

        I don't think so. But I also don't think anyone has ever tried payments with no user friction. ('cause it's hard.)

        maybe advertising on the web should be rethought. right now, without an adblocker, every page looks like a cheap newsstand.

        DOM changes can be detected. Render to buffer (http://goo.gl/f354k3 , https://goo.gl/TR3vU9 ) then OCR or image-match the ads out.

        Some advertising agencies now use algorithmically generated domain names to avoid blocking. Same strategy used by malware writers.
