I’m going to call this an idea, but it is more a response to an aggravation.
My goal is not to deprive other sites of money, but the “Promoted Content” in the RSS article preview is getting really, really annoying. NYTimes, is but one example, but clearly a lot of sites are implementing the exact same system, with the exact same 8 pieces of sensationalist content over and over.
I have “preview images” turned off in story list, but I don’t see anyway to turn off images from the RSS feed. Some feeds actually put full content in their feeds, and I would rather not turn off their images. But for some feeds and folders, I would like to block images from article previews, or otherwise block these ads.
On my mac, I can run a proxy that seems to block them, but I have no way to block them on my iPad, and due to image sizing, that is where they are most egregious.
