They may never get a chance to convert the visiter into a customer again.

If they don’t turn into a subscription website and remain advertiser based, how will they ever “convert” you? Would you ever be convinced to whitelist their site?

Sites like Amazon and other webstores run ad's on their sites. Forums and the like have often had a "turn ads off" payment option without killing access to adblockers or the free users. Many Content creators also have merch and other rev income streams other than just ad's.
