The conflicting interest starts with the very idea of ads already. The entire point of ads is to manipulate you into doing things you wouldn't do otherwise.
replyI suppose that depends on the ad. I don't mind non-intrusive ads that are directly relevant to whatever I'm currently doing. What google currently does with product placement in AI responses is a good example. It's on topic, unobtrusive, and secure.
replyThat could also be a preference. Do you allow third party ads to begin with? But then I'd understand if people would just block visitors that don't agree to them. I think paying via showing ads is fine. Paying with my integrity isn't.
