I'm aware of many things, in this case I just don't care. They can stop hosting or stop me from viewing their site.
If asked to go, I'll go immediately. It is common for sites to ask me to disable ad blocking, I won't so I leave.
If it isn't free then block me from viewing. I'll stay on the free internet just fine.

They decided to host, I wasn't contacted to help share the cost of hosting nor ever agreed to ads.
They can leave the internet for all I care, it's full anyway.
Have you ever asked why don't they just put these sites behind a password, user sign in or other blocking methods?
The capability exists in most web servers. Why won't they do it?
