That's why my adblock is always on.

  Typical progression for me: Adblock auto-enabled => I like this site, I think I'll disable adblock to support the creator => Autoplay video ad blasting || ad displays over content || full screen ad appears without a clear exit => Adblock auto-enabled

    It used to be the same for me, now I just pay for the 5-10 quality sites that I read often enough for me to miss them if they stop existing.

  I get it and use an adblocker to fight off the more egregious ads (autoplay, overlays, popups, etc), but most websites are ad supported and I don't have an issue with standard banners. The irony seems to be that ad companies are overcompensating for adblockers by offering more intrusive ads, which then inspires more adblocking, which then inspires even more intrusive ads, and the cycle repeatedly escalates.
