The only mistake Billy made is giving anything to AdBlock Plus, the people who have sided WITH the ads, instead of uBlock Origin, the true MVPs of the ad blocking world. I guess uBlock doesn't accept donations unfortunately, but still, ABP is shady and I would not support them.
Some of the block list maintainer do accept donations, if I recall.
I did a quick search and they don't make it easy. Peter Lowe's ad and tracking server blocklist is the only one I found. EasyList doesn't seem to have a donation link, nor Dan Pollock at someonewhocares.org. Also worth noting that UBO doesn't take donations. You could always subscribe to AdGuard, but that's mixed.
