Frankly, I just don't care about the distinction. I'm going to engage with sites, I just choose not to download some of their content which I find annoying. Whether they offer that content or not doesn't matter to me at all, because I never see it anyway.

And for those that are countering this with "but some sites can only cover their costs using ads!" I say: Tough luck. I'm readily paying for things if I want them; if you can only offer something in exchange for advertisements, I don't want it.
