I'm getting really sick of whatever ridiculous justifications people make for using adblockers. People use adblockers because it's more convenient for them. If most crimes were as easy to commit as an adblocker is to install, we would have a lot more crime. When installing an adblocker nobody is actually thinking about all the revenue sites they visit get. None of these arguments are going to have any effect on adblock usage.
As for all those sites that exist because of ads, they'll either find a way to make ads unblockable (not hard if the ads are served from the same server as the content, making it impossible to differentiate them), find a different way to profit, or go bankrupt.
And, as long as I'm ranting, please stop saying "I disable my adblocker for sites that deserve it" as though there's something charitable about it. Companies aren't charities. If you don't let them go out of business, the thousands of others who don't care enough to disable their adblockers for them will.
