Why did you think that using an ad network was ever a sensible option for revenue? Ads are cancer and a security risk, so blocking them is just common sense.

Not OP, but because I could flip a switch and get an extra $200/mo for doing nothing extra, at a time when that was important to me.

When every other site on the Internet seemed to have banner ads, the moral quandary was whether I wanted free money or not. That was an easy decision.
