Sure, it's their computer, but they chose to visit a site which is not
theirs, One that was created and maintained by somebody else. It costs to
create and host sites, if there is no means for monetization then the
likely macro repercussion is less sites or more pay-sites. Perhaps someday
on some sites you may choose:  1. micro-crypto payments. 2. give me ads. 3.
allow my browser to mini-mine crypto for the site owner. 4. by donation ie
wikipedia.... There is no free lunch, the attitude that people should get
something for nothing in my opinion is a cancer to society.
