I have worked in the internet advertising industry for almost a decade now, and I feel your pain.
It is great that you have standards that you try your hardest to hold to, and its unfortunate that the industry as a whole has been unable to provide an answer.
It is a two way street though. Users also want the websites for free, and without intrusive ads, but are also unwilling to make up that lost portion.
If you ever figure out the land between "users want it free with easy to ignore ads" and "ads which pay enough for us to sustain ourselves", please let me know. I expect without a major paradigm shift, there is no land in between.
