On many of my sites, I earn at least 12 cents per pageview, on average, and sometimes as much as 50 cents.
Because I don't charge our users, I don't have to deal with customer service, payment processing, and many other things related to collecting money.
While I haven't ruled out letting subscribers pay us in the future, it would add a huge layer of complexity to our business.
Additionally, if subscribers where to pay $.0002 per page view, guess who would get all of the money? The credit card company! And I definitely don't want to be in the business of figuring out how to do micropayments.
Advertising is simple, it works, and actually provides value to users when done right. Furthermore, as a publisher, I have the right to build a sustainable business.
People who remove ads are directly attacking the ability of any publishing business to exist. Not cool.
