    it is not net negative. they do not earn from you, but server (redlib) still counts as a visitor. what advertisers usually want is site wide traffic, and not individual people to advertise (that is more of google/meta job), so they still report the traffic to advertisers. if everyone switched to redlib, then no one will click on ads, and hence advertisers will not gain anything and stop paying.
