Controversial opinion: I don't serve ads to my customers - I feel absolutely zero fucking sympathy for site owners when I block ads.
If you don't want me to block ads - pick a different model. Preferably one where I'm a customer, and you're catering to my needs instead of selling me off to the highest bidder.
Second controversial opinion: Ads should be banned entirely, legislatively, because the industry is a breeding ground of misaligned incentives, data abuse, corruption, and generally scummy behavior. Will that remove a lot of free services? Sure - I don't care. I think the net will be a win.
Third controversial opinion - your "controversial opinion" leads to a dystopia where people are forced to view ads everywhere. They are manipulated non stop for the benefit of someone else. I don't just think you're wrong - I think you're malicious.
