I hear what you're saying, and instinctually I feel gross about it. But, if enabling advertising allows the website I'm visiting to stay in business, I think that might be a trade-off worth making.

The business model of the websites I visit is not my problem. I block ads and trackers at multiple levels, very aggressively, and could not care less if some websites disappeared because of it. Perhaps then we will be left with a more sane and useful subset of the Internet.
I don't understand that thought process.
Why should I give up my data to any private entity?
If their business model depends on ads, then I say it should die.
Then the fix is pretty easy, just don't visit their site?
