The thing is, these sites that give you an option to pay only let you pay to opt out of advertising (and some only partially!). It does nothing to stop tracking you.
There are several sites I would not hesitate to pay for, but the most that will net me is generally "content with invasive tracking". Sometimes with no ads and sometimes with "fewer ads". But in either case, still a non-starter because it's still capturing the same data about me and sharing it.
