There are a lot of people, myself included, who just want to be able to use websites. I am trying to avoid two major things when I block advertisements online:

1. Dangerous ads - Cryptominers, viruses/whatever, and the like.

2. Wasteful resource usage - I also block most scripts and unneeded fonts because the value to me of downloading all these add-ons is very low compared to the cost to me through network congestion and possible vulnerabilities.

I pay to support content creators I get value from, and if more creators followed a reasonable, proportional, fee I would support more.
