That's actually better. I like to find options like subscribing to yearly plans, donations, or lifetime purchases for software that's a huge W for me. But I can't support all of them, so if there's a least harmful way to support them and it's ads, I'll do my part by disabling my ad blocker.

I've become more open to paying for services.  Maybe it's coz my income is more than when I was younger, but part of it is also just wanting to support companies that provide a good service with direct money so they don't have to rely on ads or other shenanigans.

I'm making a list of websites I will support and disable my ad blocker for them. I think if ads are not intrusive, you can allow them. A bit of inconvenience is welcomed :) Imagine how the situation will be worse in the future if everyone uses ad blockers. Maybe the web will become something closer to pay to use. Ad blockers are making the web as messy as you don't want to see it by using them.
