    He’s not forcing you into a subscription model, he wants you to either allow ads or go to a subscription model.

    You don’t need to pay 8 Euro a month, you just need to allow the ads.

    It’s not broken to prevent ad blockers, we all got used to a system that wasn’t sustainable, and now we’re seeing what is actually required for sites and apps to survive.

      I wouldn’t mind paying a few cents, but 8€ is way more than what he could possibly get out of the ads.

      I wish a system like Flattr or even BAT could take off. Paying a few dollars a month to not get ads anywhere in a sustainable way seems like the way to go.

      (Note: I seem to remember shady stuff about the BAT token but I do not know the details. Don’t incendiate me on that).
