Exactly. For me it's analogue to Patreon: Why would anyone give money on Patreon? To finance a creator for everybody?

If you would sell all the useless bytes you would serve the clean version of your website.

Ads are useless bytes. But a bit dishonestly useless. You can block them to some extent. Some will not get served to you. However there are still some ad divs or native ads that are uselessly sent to you in case of ad blocking.

I propose sending honestly useless bytes, but give people ability to strip them out for money.

Then everyone can be happy. People can support a creator. People can get a better product by paying. A creator can eat.
