alt Hacker NewsDaring Fireball has been doing the one ad a week in RSS with no tracking for over a decade. The sponsors must think they work.
You could always buy a Stratechery subscription - which is great by the way. Some of that money goes to Gruber for the Dithering podcast.
But Gruber is a famously self described bad business person for a content creator. He never tries to be an early reviewer when press embargoes are over for hardware. He claims to never look at his server logs and got rid of Google Analytics ages ago.
His podcast schedule is erratic.

You can also pay for Dithering without stratechery.

I have no interest for anything sold in ads in their RSS and I assume they are tracking in the links that you click too (otherwise why spend all $11K for no results?)

That is a good start, hopefully he should consider switching to a community supported model rather than rely on advertisers.
