I think one thing I do not like about ads is how any webpage that gets big enough will add ads out of necessity just to cover their sudden spike in costs.
Why do you believe that to be true? For what websites do you believe it to be true? I would expect that any content website that’s big enough that hosting fees are the primary issue for raising money can fund hosting fees via Patreon.
Because I used to work for/with companies whose business model was mostly free access covered by ads. Costs of keeping those sites running were substantial and proportional to amount of visitors.
