> If you block all the ads on an ad-supported website, how will it survive?

If the only thing that website provides of value is a billboard, it doesn't deserve to.

I'm perfectly happy paying for high-quality ad-free services.



So why do you use any websites that have ads/tracking? Surely you could avoid them and stick to your high quality paid options?

It’s annoying how self-righteous HN is about Ads.

Because it's extremely easy to disable the ads.

I don't want to avoid the websites, I want to avoid the ads. If that at some point necessitates avoiding the website then sure, but fortunately it doesn't at the moment.
