That would just be greedy.

I’ve been doing this for almost ten years on http://CoasterBuzz.com, stripping out the ads for people who pay an annual $25. It’s a simple arrangement: You ask nicely, and if people find value in what you’re providing, they’ll pay. Looking at the stats, they would never make up that $25 on ad views, so it’s an obvious win.
