Would much rather pay a small developer directly than be force-fed ads, even if the excuse is that the ads pay the bills. I don't think this is a particularly unique sentiment and there are plenty of less scummy ways to generate funding than by running advertisements.
Arguably, the whole mobile app store ecosystem became a shithole because we weren't willing to pay a buck or two for a an app. It led to an environment where alternative forms of monetization are so common that a lot of devs don't even bother making a premium, ad-free version.
