It really depends on:

  1. How intrusive the ads are
  2. If there is other invasive tracking
  3. How "corporate" the website is (SEO garbage AI spam vs genuine indie blogger)
  4. The quality of the article

But for some reason, 75% of the time I decide to willingly turn off my ad blocker, there's nothing to block.

Imagine if Newspapers were originally run like web site news

If you wanted to read A paper, you would have had to buy a year's subscription

That's just fine as far as the site is concerned.

They provide content that is paid for by ads. When you block the ads, you're using up bandwidth and not contributing to the site's revenue. They want you gone.

Peak monetisation. Don't let them even see the article [copied from another website and run through ChatGPT] until they fork over the entrance fee.
