I think advertising is immoral and predatory, so I'm very okay with ad-blocking.

  What options are there for product discovery outside of advertising? Just asking in general as I find most ads predatory as well. I've never really had a good answer for this question.

    Do you know if cross promotion networks are blocked as well with ad-blockers?

    It's not easy, but you can try to build a personal/company reputation for making quality stuff. For one example, Jeff Vogel[1] has been making a living writing old-school RPGs for decades. He did so by finding an underserved market and treating his customers well. For another, Cold Cold World[2] makes packs that some climbers swear by, and recommend to others; they may do some advertising, but I've never seen it. You won't become a billionaire this way, but you can do just fine.

    You make yourself a worthwhile recommendation engine, and let people come to you explicitly for that purpose. Think of it like going to the doctor for "disease discovery". You go to the doctor to get healed, and you should probably go for checkups. You certainly you don't expect doctors to go around peddling their wares to you 24/7.
