Ads are not vetted or regulated in any meaningful way and often ad networks will serve up ads from other networks so a content provider has no way of knowing the true source of the ads they're serving. There's been a violation of the trust between content providers and consumers. Consumers have found ad blockers as a means to protect themselves and it's up to providers to now come up with a safer arrangement.

I'm just going to stop eating their burgers.
