Uh, I'm in this group.

I think that if I'm visiting a website and using its bandwidth, the website ought to get paid. If the ads are too egregious, then using the website isn't "worth the cost" and I go to a different website.

I do however pay for Scroll[1], and I use Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection. Due to the latter, many websites think I'm using an adblocker and complain, which really irks me.

You don't support the website by seeing ads. The only reason why anyone is paying for ads in the first place is because it affects the bottom line. So if you just see ads and don't buy the things they are pushing, the price that advertisers are willing to pay will decrease over time.

Only when you make a purchase based on an ad are you supporting anyone. At that point you should just buy the better product and support the website by sending them money instead of buying a shitty product that has advertising priced in.

You'd be surprised if you knew how indoctrinated teens get in terms of not blocking ads on their favorite youtuber's channel.

I like ads. Instagram story interstitials are very enjoyable ads.
