Good grief. Do you seriously think I am, unlike all the other HN users who wear their adblockers on their sleeves, likely to be unaware of reasons for using adblockers?
Having reasons for using an adblocker are entirely orthogonal to what happened when I clicked on a link shared by another HN user—a link I have an inherently higher expectation of trust for because it's from a fellow HN user. The user needed to know the site they shared is a piece of shit source that shouldn't be posted to HN.
