I wonder how this will scan in your thinking. I just got this message today, how appropriate:
"As our way of thanking you for your positive contributions to Slashdot, you are eligible to disable advertising."
Several below posters note that there are enough compliant people to subsidize the rest, so it looks like content providers are actually doing this in some fashion. My contributions to slashdot are really modest, but it makes sense that more deserving users like, say, John Carmack, should have the privilege of free content particularly if they are the ones making it. After all, comments on slashdot *are* the content!
