I blog for therapy, entertainment, friendship, networking. I won't install ads and I've turned down a dozen companies asking me to do paid reviews. I think I prefer doing it "just because" over anything else. I will accept donations but I never solicit for it. I only have even one thing on my whole site that could be considered an ad but its my affiliate link for my host and its only there because its a great deal and my tiny cut would help pay my server fees
