I don’t understand why you can’t just load traditional ads related to your business that no ad blocker would work out of the box against.

If I visit a website about cars, one could put up car ads because it’s obviously in my interests at this point.

I don’t visit websites that require me to block my adblocker for the simple reason that it means they have no other monetizable content apart from me, and as I didn’t even get to their magnet content yet I have no idea how the website feels, which makes me not so open to sharing my data fingerprint.

My ads are traditional ads, and the ads are almost always related to the business.

There are no good and bad ads. The creators of ad blockers decide, what the ad is. The code of an ad blocker literally contains a code like: if(website is Photopea.com) find a specific element and delete it.

If an ad blocker tells you, that they are not blocking "good ads", they are usually blackmailing ad companies to pay them, so that they do not block their ads. The money, which could go to content creators, are going to ad block creators.
