That's not a problem with adverts. It's merely an incompatibility between Google's policies and the site. If we fell victim to the same policies, we could just choose another advertiser to work with (although, in reality, Google would bend over backwards to get their adverts on our sites and would relax their policies).
That is not the reason why we should have adverts. The reason why is that adverts can create a perception of partiality.
