Unfortunately, that's the worst part of ABP and many other adblockers - they allow companies to pay them off to be whitelisted. The program is meant to sound consumer-friendly, but it's just another way to get their cut of the ad spend.
I'm not going to go as far as calling this extortion, but it's definitely misleading.
A more upfront way of doing it would be to call them sponsored ads or something that implies it being paid.
