That would be tricky. People would need to have a good idea of which sites they care about would have ads removed if they pay X dollars/month. Then maybe their favorite sites use three different networks, all of which they have to pay for. Maybe you could do it where the user picks the network, not the site.


Having looked at this for a while, the show/not-show needs to be decided at the publisher's server based on input from an authentication service.

eg.

    if ( auth.is_subscriber )
      puts advertisement_block
    end


Right, my idea is that the user gets to pick which auth object to check against on the server


My design is authenticating per-request, so the publisher's server is the one that would decide what to query. From the user perspective it's opt-in.
