The problem is the harm to small bloggers and creators that need ads to survive.
I recommend routing your browser around your router ad block by changing its DNS then using uBlock Origin to whitelist the sites you want to support. You can block third party cookies and fingerprinting to mitigate the tracking.
I would much rather do direct support. Conveniently, I also lose so much respect for people that run ads that I don’t want to support them. OTOH, I spend way more on patreon and bandcamp than I would on subscription services.
