If your content is that good and that valueable, then why don't you take it offline and publish it in a book, magazine, newspaper, whatever you want, where people will be forced to look at any advertising the publisher decides on to put along with the information to ensure his/hers and yours revenue and profit margins? That is - IF - you can find an editor who will actually publish it.

The internet does not have that editorial restriction. The only editorial process on the internet is that of the webmaster of the website. That is the advantage. The disadvantage is the estimated revenue and/or profit margins of any work done. Adblocking naturally cuts into the revenue models which are usually being used - not because of you or your work specifically, but because advertising and the revnue models on the internet in a general sense has become too aggressive for some people, and hence they will counter them by simply blocking the advertising they do not like, for time and ever forth.

You do not just become a brand or a name or a god by having a website and publishing some articles on various topics, it is about building and contributing with something of a perceived value to the visitors/users of the website which will make them return at some point.. Yes, it IS a very hard and very long road and it does not just happen overnight - and yes, the major brands of the real world has enormous advantages and alot more resources than most other people to build their customer bases on. But it is possible, it just requires what most people dislike the most: Work.

Sincerely, and have fun,
