It is a difficult situation for creators. I do wish there were decentralized solutions that picked up some traction.

I definitely agree with that however I feel like the barrier to entry to non-technical folks is too high. And then the second problem being that people go where the content is, and the content doesn't want to go somewhere without people. The classic new social media problem.

So if a decentralised solution picked up, but it’s model was advertising based would you still choose to block ads?

Yes, because the advertising model is a bane on humanity and they should just charge a fee for their content.
