… give them money.

This point though. Do you pay for the content you consume? If not, you contribute to creators gravitating towards advertisement to pay rent with their work.

Use patreon, liberapay, and open collective to pay the creator directly, then aggressively block ads. Thats what I do.

The point is to give creators money, not advertisers

This is the way - avoid ads as much as possible, and support environments/services/creators that respect your privacy directly with money.
