No, you are still not being forced to look at their content... it's still your choice to do so or not. Personally I add sites to point to 127.0.0.1 in my host file and call it a day. Does them a favor and I don't need to keep track of which links to avoid clicking because the site tells me to disable my ad block or isn't available without removing ad block. If it hits localhost I go back a page and move on with my life. If it is important or worth knowing about - it will be reposted somewhere or spoken about somewhere where I will be able to read it without going to their site. For what it's worth, I also add the sites that ask me politely to disable my ad blocker. If they're going to give me the option to continue to view their content with it enabled, I consider it polite to decline and not continue to waste their bandwidth on serving me their pages.
