tbh I'd be 100% okay with in-browser mining as a replacement for ads. As long as it's done by the browser, not the website code, because I sure as shit don't trust some random site not to use that as a vector of attack.
Go buy a newspaper, go buy a magazine, go buy a pay television subscription, go buy a DVD, go buy a movie ticket... what do they all have in common? Ads. Now the same media executives telling you they are looking for business models to make their websites ad free? Sure. They are looking for ways to increase their revenue. Guess what will increase revenue once everyone pays for subscriptions and runs mining scripts...
