I wouldn’t have a problem with adverts if there was a guarantee of no malware, no phishing, no scams.
The best part is that more ethical ads are harder to block, because trackers are one of the easiest ways to identify ads.
Hell, the adblocker I use (adnauseam) doesn't block ethical ads by default.
What are ethical ads?
In general: non-intrusive, non-tracking ads, with robust verification (i.e. not scams or lies), such as the ones you find on https://modrinth.com, or duckduckgo
With adnauseam: https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/FAQ#what-is-the-effs-do-not-track-standard-and-how-it-is-supported-in-adnauseam
I just visited Modrinth and yeah, the ads even match the theme of the website!
