Sample bias here. But this hasn't happened to me since the early 2000's. I do not have any ad blocker, no ad bothers me, unless its an adult site, they've gone really crazy there.

I got forcibly redirected on a baseball statistics site multiple times while not using Adblock (my mobile phone which didn't have it). It happens all the time.

Then I guess you are a lucky person. Read up on one of the many ad based exploit toolkits[1].
It took a crypto malware to convince a company I was working with to install uBlock. No more ads, no more flash, no more ransomware.
