Yeah, unfortunately until someone comes up with a better idea ads fuel the "free" internet
My rule is, I have adblock on and if you ask me nice to turn it off I look at the number of ads blocked. If it's more than maybe 15 I can probably get the same thing somewhere else. Doubly the ones that flaunt CCPA by saying you opt-in just for being there. Like the EU I'm supposed to be given an affirmative choice.
