I can still use my computer, my bandwidth and my time as I see fit. I refuse to waste time waiting for ads to load, closing popups, stopping videos (with sound!), and sieveing through a visual mess to find the actual content on a webpage. I'm not particularly keen on the manipulative techniques used in ads either. If you do the right thing and make your content accessible through a subscription, so that you can do your job without relying on ads, and I find that you produce quality content then I will gladly subscribe, as I do for a few sites which do actual journalism. I suspect part of the problem lies here, with ads you can scrap revenue with click-baity, devoid of content articles, but people aren't going to give you money directly for that.
