I hate ads as much as anyone but providing a free service that runs ads and shares part of that income with content creators is hardly particularly evil.

I would accept ads more easily with if they were not a privacy disaster.

I’m watching a video about cars, sure show me the ad about this crappy car brand I will never buy. I’m reading an article about Prometheus, sure show me an ad about your greatest SaaS metrics platform that cost more per monitored machine than my machine.

No needs for cookies and tracking.

Would you really? I mean I keep hearing this but it doesn't ring true to me. People don't like ads in content because it interrupts what they are trying to consume and tries to leverage them away. This seems like a far greater motive to install an ad-blocker than some hand wavy tracking that probably doesn't even work that well.
