Not if there's fewer there to see ads. They're still a business with a bottom line, even if what they do is terrible.

Less of a boycott and more of a logical business decision.

Not if there's fewer there to see ads

But you usually pay per click or impression, not a flat rate. So that alone shouldn't be a reason for them to stop advertising there
