I already click right back out of websites that don’t make it easy to reject cookies or ask for an email. I certainly won’t be registering anywhere and will find other ways to get the information I need. At this point I am immediately turned off by anything that relies heavily on ad-revenue to exist anyway.
Do you have paid subscriptions to web sites you like?
I do—I support a handful of creators (including some web content creators) directly via patreon, and donate to the important guys like wiki and craigslist. I don’t support any news organizations and am not sure how they’ll pivot.
Well many have paid subscriptions. I would love to see a total migration to "free with ads" and "micro payments for no ads". The site would show you your balance owing as you used it. That way you could register to pay but not be getting dinged every month for say a hiking site you only used half the year.

What model is there? It's pretty much subscriptions, ads, or sales right?
Also, I'm the same way. As stated in previous reply.
That sounds about right to me, maybe throw in government supported and nonprofits
