I was thinking I would probably choose to keep my ad blocker off if there was some way for me to choose only local advertisers or American(or your country) made. I would even let them use geo location to make it happen.

I'd take my ad blocker off if:
- the ads weren't flashy eyesores
- I only ever got one ad per page
- the ads were not harvesting any personal data to determine what to show me

I keep my blocker off when i get paid for the ads i get served. Meet Slice. It's not huge, but it feels a little bit fairer.

ad blockers don't just block visible ads, those brokers don't need to know your browsing habits

If ads weren't such a toss-up on malice and distraction I'd probably turn it off more often. But I don't, because I can't trust ad agencies to secure their resources so they don't get poisoned my something malicious.

It's not the advertising I mind, it's the dragnet surveillance that underpins it.
And completely unnecessarily -- we had over a century of advertising which didn't rely on surveillance which worked very well for businesses and their customers. The idea all advertising needs surveillance is a myth.
