I do agree in certain extent. Forbes is really bad regarding adblockers. I don't mind being reminded that they use ads to generate revenue to deliver news for free, but doing it in a way where they actually loose readers because of that is nonsense. Give me a popup asking me to turn adblocker off, not banning me from the content. In the information age where the same news gets presented on numerous sites it's a bit shooting oneself in the foot denying access to the content because of adblockers. People on hacker news should try to avoid posting content from sites like forbes, but we shouldn't force them to do so. Because then hacker news wouldn't be better then forbes.
