The problem isn't (at least with me) not that I have a problem with paying for content, but with opening and attack vector that isn't even controlled by the primarily visited outlet (be it porn or journalism). It wouldn't (at least in my case) be a problem with advertisement per se. Adservers with additional adservers behind them (and cascading further down) where only one would have to be compromised to infect my machine is what makes me use hard rules not to let (unknown) third party requests on any page pass. I try to minimize my flank surface in regards to such online attack possibilities. In my case it is with adblocking, a curated and regularly updated host file, 3rd party request blockage and so on... OK, the net is mostly unusable and painful nowadays, but that is the price to pay.
