Notice to online newspapers

Those ads that drop down/unfold over/obscure the area that I am trying to read? Those animated ads that chase after me even when I page down down down in order to escape them? I don't read them, other than to hunt for the blasted Close tag. I don't click on them. I sometimes avoid visiting your site because of them. I HATES THEM!

Pop up surveys? KILLKILLKILL!

I don't know how online newspapers and news aggregators will make money. Micropayments, maybe, with an area of the internet becoming a sort of toll road. A penny here, a penny there. But intrusive LOOK AT ME! ads just don't cut it.
