I would if I used it a lot.. Extensive ads ruin a lot of webpages to the extend that I just stay away..

Yes, I know I could use adblock etc., which helps, but the design and layout is still much worse than it could be. It's worth paying a small amount to fix sites I use a lot.

Also, it's the principle of the thing. If they can't see that their site is totally f#ยค useless and ugly, I'm not going to bother with them.

Maybe I'm in a minority, but I genuinely don't care about seeing the ads.

I'd never pay for them to be turned off, unless perhaps if it was a small site or community that I wanted to help out / donate to.

Oh, and the audio ads in Spotify, I'd pay in blood not to hear them :D
