It's not that simple. Except for the simplest ones that might just be an image, ads are not just ads like in magazines and on TV.
Ads use your resources to download more content. They use your resources for animation and sound.
They also track you.
Content providers are free to not serve you content if they detect ad blockers. If they have trouble detecting ad blockers, they are free to not be in business.
They are free to move to a subscription model.
They are operating willingly on the current open web. It's not your problem.
