I use an adblocker in my browser and a pi-hole as well. I hate ad networks and it's been a long time since I've been redirected to a site letting me know I've won a free iPad.
But some sites do advertising right and my blockers are useless against them, and I'm OK with that. Take, for example, this site (and here's the owner writing about ad-blocking): https://css-tricks.com/discussion-around-ad-blocking/ https://css-tricks.com/discussion-around-ad-blocking/ (2015)
Their ads are all first-party content inserted into the page. It's not even an iframe. Just divs and svgs like the rest of the page with an anchor tag that links to the sponsor. It even looks kind of nice and fits cleanly with the site.
And most importantly, to me as a visitor, a link to a sponsored site is not going to redirect me to a scam the moment I land on css-tricks.com, because they at least always control what's on their own pages.
