I'm not actually against this. I'm very much stuck between a rock and a hard place in terms of ad block. I want to show my support to the websites I frequent, but the amount of ads and their content is getting out of hand.

If there was a way I could subscribe to a service that prevented the ads, but a portion of the money I paid for that went to the website publishers, I'd probably sign up.

Our solution is to use non off the ad providers.

We have only adds from direct customers and the amount is stable over the years.
So our forum is not a wallpaper of ads.

And the income we generate with this is enough to cover our expenses like server, licenses.

The fact that google is going to start judging your ads to see if they get blocked or not on chrome is something every webmaster should be VERY aware of. See if your site has been judged here: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ad-experience-unverified?hl=en (Also, if you go to that tool and you DON'T have your site verified as your property yet, you need to fix that ASAP)
