It depends a lot on how much you are paying for your internet service, and/or how fast it is. If you're paying nothing or just a little, and/or it's very fast

It depends a lot on how much you are paying for your internet service, and/or how fast it is.
If you're paying nothing or just a little, and/or it's very fast then the extra time/cost of the ad content is negligible.
On the other hand, if your internet connection is slow, expensive or you have a small monthly quota, then any time or cost involved in downloading largish volumes of ad content becomes a huge fraction of your costs.
I once had a monthly quota of two gigabytes when travelling. An average of only 60 megabytes per day. It doesn't take many two-three megabyte webpages full of ads to soak up that 60MB daily quota.

Either go to different sites or don't visit those sites at all. Despite what so many posters here seem to think, it's not a god-given right to read the NYT without looking at ads lol.
