    Somebody should make a standard for non-intrusive, not spying, ethical ads (no clickbaits, no contrasting colors, related to the article, etc. etc.).

    Adblocks would have websites that strictly follow these guidelines in a whitelist by default (opt-out).

    That’s the middle ground. But, I doubt any big ad company like Google or Meta would push for it, if not against.

      Adblock Plus did something similar to that.

      Then it turned out they were taking bribes to whitelist some providers and then we’re back to square one.

      Oh well.
