This may be a little too generous to 2013, but it's not that far off. (startrek.website)

I mean no website back then was telling you to block them if you want. They just didn't use javascript to detect blockers.

Also web hosting has gone WAY up. My simple static website used to cost $5 per month to host. Now it's $30 for the same spec server. The ones that are closer to $5 are so insanely oversold and slow, a website takes a good 30-45 seconds to load.

Unless you have millions of hits per month or your "static site" is Wordpress with a page builder, you might want to look into other web hosting offers. A VPS is overkill for a static site, and you can get a decent VPS for $10-$12 range. With enough bandwidth and io to host many static websites.

I know websites that did, or at least remember an admin saying "please turn off ad blockers if you want to support the site"

A true static site can use GitHub Pages for free hosting (probably other options, too -- never checked). That's what I do for my ultra low traffic personal site (at least, I assume ultra low -- I don't install any tracking on principle). I pay for a domain and that's it (and that's just to look nicer, not actually necessary).
