Compute costs money, it’s more ethical to charge your users than it is to throw shady ads at them which link to malware.

Sure, if you have hardware and/or time to generate it client side. I’m just saying that if you run a web service and decide to charge for it, that’s better than most of the alternative monetization strategies.
