I agree. I use an ad-blocker for privacy and because many news sites are almost unreadable without them now. Instead of addressing the core issues with online advertising the industry just doubled down and made ads more intrusive and distracting to the point it's literally driving away consumers. If people can't read the content on your site without having to jump through hoops or feel the privacy trade-off isn't worth it, they're just not going to use your site anymore.
