Watch ads and get the content for free, pay a fee for ad free viewing then block ad blockers in all other circumstances?

I think that until websites start toning down their ads (until Google’s DFP gives websites enough control to tone down their ads), people like me will always turn to ad-block, or move away from desktop browsing towards mobile apps where ads are almost always better considered. The one website I know doing an ok job is the Guardian – they detect ad-block users and politely ask that they either subscribe or accept their generally unobtrusive ads. It’s now the only website that I allow ads on.
