Not really, stop lying to yourself.

Somebody has to pay the compute bill and ads are mechanism to get some €€ back.

I do use ad blockers cuz a lot of sites are too ads heavy, but at least im not making up some ideology that im not ripping somebody off.

Be genuine and honest with yourself

From the parent comment: "If you don't like that, then don't send people free web pages when they make HTTP requests. Make your web server return 402 Payment Required instead"

Because what? It isnt the only solution and has *significant cons*.

If you prefer radical / extreme approaches, then do it with your content
