Personally? I'm willing to watch or see an advert for a newspaper, YouTuber (especially this!) or small blogger. Usually I use my adblocker's counter as a measure of how awful a page is and if it's reasonable I'll turn it off.

Tracking is yet another thing you can avoid to some degree by using an ad blocker (and, better yet, by disabling javascript). Finally, the best reason to use an ad blocker is to opt-out of the advertising ecosystem to make it less viable. We have to find a more ethical way to fund media than supporting this manipulative, privacy-invading industry.
