I did it on Monkeytype, there is even toggle to disable ads if you don’t have adblocker, but i went for a sellout option.
Never. It’s a malware vector.
Once upon a time, long ago, I did it for reddit but they burnt that good will to the ground. Give a corporation an inch and they’ll take as many miles as they can before someone stops them: I block everything now and if it won’t load then I don’t bother with it. If it’s really important I’ll still find a way to view it but never again will I allow ads anywhere I can help it. Advertisements are a very serious threat to security and privacy. Malware and scams are routine in ads, even ads from known corporations that are supposedly safe, like Google.

Not for a well made one, but one I made.
I was testing some shitty PHP code and turned off adnausem just incase it was messing with my shitty PHP code. But I should have known my shitty PHP code was broken and it wasn’t adnausem.
PHP
Well there’s yer problem lmao

I disable it for very few sites. These sites provide nice and free niche content but don’t show any ads. I just disable so that the tracking works for sure, to motivate them continue running the site.
Nope. Never.
Sites are rarely involved in picking what ads get displayed. I know there’s controls with your ad provider that let you say it’s a tech site or a cooking site and similar ads will be shown but that’s not enough control to stop somebody malicious. The FBI recommends ad blockers for safety, not because they find them annoying.
No. I did my time for the many years I’ve endured when adblockers weren’t really much of a thing. So, that meant that I’ve put up with ads until 2006 which meant AdBlock Plus first debuted.
Ads are typically trash, they’re in your face, they’re invasive, they’re prone to have malware in them and it’s just marketing pollution that adds no value except to figure out ways, mostly in obnoxious fashion, to get you to spend money.
I never disable adblock unless the site isn’t working properly.
This is the way. But I won’t disable ublock when the website tells me to or breaks intentionally.
There are a few car specific forums still running vBulletin that I pop the blocker off for. E.g, cb7tuner.com. They use unobtrusive banners on the top and bottom of the page and I do want to support them. Those are the only exceptions though.
Do you ever have sex without protection because the other person looks “clean”?
Virgins but use protection anyways for birth control.
I disable on 2 of my local news sites because they need every penny, but not on local news sites owned by major publishers.
DuckDuckGo
I’m ok with static ads. Targeted advertising gets a block from me.
The only times I do so are when they only run in-house adds. RoyalRoad is an example, they run advertisements for creators that use their platform, and its useful to find content you might enjoy.
Other than that though? Nothing. I have so many layers of add filtering that basically nothing gets through.
