WTF? Of course other business models exist, but if a business owner wants to be nice, he/she can actually create a profitable system without the end user having to pay a dime! It is really a beautiful system. People who don't like the advertisements just don't click on them, and read the content. People who find the advertisements too obtrusive, go elsewhere to get their content. It is really a simple arrangment that requires little to no formal education to understand. It also requires little to no education to understand how that blocking the ads (pay-per-impression) prevents the site owner from earning revenue, but allows you to still access the cotent, thereby dissolving this once comfortable and profitable arrangement.
