Not necessarily. As a counterpoint, I have a site (<https://www.automidiflip.com/ https://www.automidiflip.com/>, which I posted to HN on launch 8 years ago[0], which provides a service and does not have (and has never had) any ads whatsoever. (It inserts a reference to automidiflip.com in the MIDIs it creates as a credit, but no ads in the sense that most people mean.)
Granted, it's a niche service, but over the past year it's still been used to flip MIDIs about 23 times a day on average, so it's definitely not unknown. I don't see any need to monetise it, though.
