> don't go to sites that have them

That's not really a viable solution. You cannot know the site you are about to visit has ads on it or not.

It's pretty easy to figure out. You go to the site. You see ads. You stop reading and go somewhere else.
No, it's the site which is free to refuse serving content if you don't view the ads. I'll happily go somewhere else.

Otherwise, I have an ad blocker so that I can go to the site, not see the ads and continue reading. Or if I feel particularly inclined to fight this shitty business model, I may install this ad clicker.
