There is no way to serve free content with targeted ads, blocking it outright seems really harsh. A paywall can help justify the efforts of compliance.
Yes. I really feel like this whole thing is based on sound bites and people will regret the outcome. "You are the product" has become a mantra for the people who care about this issue, but everyone else will care when they are having to pay for what seemed free to them.
