Such sites get paid if you click on ads. I generally don't. (I do leave Google's text ads unblocked, though I could can them as well, as they at least try to be relevant to what I'm looking at.

And there are an assortment of sites which have ads that I do want to read, like news sites.

I'm not really interested in killing all ads: just in clening up ad heavy sites so I can read the content as well as the ads.

And using CSS to not render doesn't stop payment to a site that gets paid for the ad being viewed. Nothing on the ad server end is aware I'm not rendering them on my screen.

Your call.
