Is self-promotion considered ads? My opinion is "yes" but it is not universal. For example the EasyList policy[1] states "Self-promotion should not be specifically removed by EasyList, although equally should not be allowed if it is blocked." I asked myself the question when Wikipedia does its calls for donation. One may argue that it has a noble goal but technically, it is a huge ad banner of the annoying kind, and I would have expected indiscriminate ad blockers like uBlock Origin to block them, and they don't. And the reason is doesn't isn't because it is Wikipedia, it is because it is self-promotion and is therefore allowed.
