Description
Describe the bug
When using an adblocker (such as uBlock Origin), brand sponsors logo doesn't show up. After some digging into the filter list, I found that easylist blocks ethicalads.io domain (media.ethicalads.io) from where the logos are being pulled. Now I could just create an issue to easylist, but I'm certain that they don't want to just remove an advertising platform from their list.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install an ad-blocker (I used uBlock Origin)
- Go to https://www.python.org/psf/sponsors/
- See the results, and compare them by disabling the ad-blocker
Expected behavior
I'm not sure why sponsors' logos need to be pulled from an advertising domain in the first place. They're just images and can be kept alongside the website. I'd expect images to be rendered without disabling the ad-blocker.

Additional Context
I found a blog post (dated back to 2018) from ethicalads. I'm guessing that PSF has a partnership with ethicalads (I'm not sure), but again, I still don't get why images need to be pulled from a different domain in the first place.
