The point is to make money from the users, not from advertising companies, which is the opposite of adblock. He could still refuse ads by ad tech, I don't see how donations by users would force him.

Money corrupts. The tech sector is living proof at that.

That's exactly the point. You want to be financially independent, or at least earn enough to live to reduce the risk of being corrupted by ad tech money.
