You don't need to run arbitrary third-party software to run ads, period. I'm perfectly fine with ads in an ad-sponsored ads but I'd appreciate if it didn't open my computer to malware infestations.

Can you please link me an ad provider that would allow me to monetize my website without including massive third-party software on my web-page?

If you're the size of Spotify, you have no business using third parties. You should have an ad sales team and be selling inventory directly.

TV companies and print newspapers don't need third parties and invasive tracking to sell ads.

The Deck was one such network. https://digiday.com/media/low-tech-ad-network-deck-ad-blocki...

I tried to get a similar thing started for free software and it ran for a while https://www.fsf.org/news/ad-bard

But now there isn't anything available?

I'm not aware of one but I'm no longer in an environment where I keep tabs on things like that.
