My pihole and ublock origin say otherwise.
Some sites don't work with ad blockers enabled. Yes, one can avoid those as much as possible, but some small maintainer of neat online services (no, not Google, Meta, MS, ...) also need their bills payed. So ads without tracking, i.e. collection of personal data, imho are a toad to swallow.
Some foods taste bad. One simply eats different foods.
If they can't afford to host it at no cost to the user then they should charge for it.
That's a lot more complex than displaying some ads.
It's also more respectful to users and doesn't create perverse incentives or invite third party ad servers to give their customers malware.
