Do you really wish to go into stuff that has very little to do with the article itself?

I'll gladly provide an answer but I don't think it's constructive.

I host the site on vercel with astro, I'm on the pro plan which usually costs me somewhere around 20€ per month +/- 5-10€ depending on my monthly traffic.

add to that the minuscule cost of my domain and other stuff I'm paying about 250-300€ per year

My adsense avg per day is just about 1.20€ roughly.

So at best I break even, at worst I lose a bit of money.

I still maintain my position that everyone is welcome and should use adblock or brave or pi-hole on my site if they so wish I won't mind.

But I do like the fact that I don't have to foot the bill :)

Basically if I had to lose money to write I'd probs stop writing if I'm honest.
