Google changes the amount and placement of the ads depending what "ad market" you are from so US and other similar countries might experience more ad placements than lower ad market countries.
I tried spinning it down to basically minimal ads in adsense settings and it's still quite a lot.
I strongly encourage the use of adblockers or pi-hole even on my site and see no problem with using them on my site.
The income from adsense just about covers the hosting bills in a year so far, I'm currently exploring alternative methods of monetization that would provide more value to the readers.
