Here's the complete list of ads I find acceptable:

That is for any and all media.

Genuine question, would you be willing to pay for all the content you consume using a "token" system where each page, video or other piece of media has a price to it, usually about a cent per article or 5c per video, is automatically debited from either an account loaded with real money or some sort of blockchain, at the discretion of the user? A token could be one cent.

There'd be an open API, and multiple brokers could handle that transaction for you, so there is no vendor lock-in. You could even be your own broker if you set up your own server that talks to the servers hosting any media you'd like to consume. It would get rid of online advertising, but you have to pay out of pocket for server costs and content creation costs.

Sounds like BAT token from Brave

Top up by buying it or watching ads somewhere else, and then spend on sites you see as important or flat to everyone who you visit and is connected to BAT ecosystem.
