I’ve tried internet without adblock and it’s almost unusable.

On banking websites, yes.

You know something is wrong if your bank's website needs adblocking. No wonder the internet has gone to shit... Is it that bad in other countries? ( i live in a country where bank sites dont have ads )

I live in the US. If I turn on uBlock for banking websites, they often don't work.

It's usually some analytics script, which as recent events with tax preparers have shown ought to be blocked as a security risk.
