I am genuinely amazed by the number of people here (especially here!) who defend online advertising.
Especially those who posit that people who block ads are acting in an ethically questionable manner.
To each, their own, sure - they are welcome to their opinions, and an ad-infested web - but what a strange hill on which to die.
Blocking ads and trackers, and preserving one's attention, is self-care.
