This.
I use Adguard, if a site blocks me for it, then it goes on a black list of “never visit” sites.
In a few cases, if I use and like/support a specific site a lot and that site is ad supported with no other ad-free option, then I white list it.
But to read the odd crappy article? No I’m not disabling my ad blocker.
Some forums are still reasonably active. I use Whirlpool fairly regularly. Mostly tech related, but has lots of other sections too.
