Revenue isn't always on per-click basis, it's often on simply per-view basis. For branding purposes, or something altogether else.
E.g., a McDonald's ad just wants to make you aware of a new thing on the menu.

So I block the ads, and they get less money as a result. If the advertisers are allowed to exploit negative externalities, I should be too.
