One site actually had a paid subscription without ads that was not advertised much, they emailed the link to me and I subscribed ($10 a year). A couple others I have been given donation links where I can set up what payment I think it's worth as a one off or recurring. Sometimes they have a patron without me finding it. I ad-block all of them anyway so even if they don't "turn off" the ads I am not seeing them.
