Is this really a "problem"?

I get several HTML emails every week from companies that I've subscribed to and I really like the way they display the information.

This seems to cater to people who install ad blockers and flash blockers, but do those people pay for anything? Ever? How is this service going to make money?

I don't think it is about making money. I think it is about fame: http://www.zedshaw.com/blog/2009-07-13.html
