I would like to know the statistics of people using Adblock Plus versus the other adblockers like Ublock and Ghostery (not on troyhunt.com but on a more general level). In any case, the argument Hunt makes here is valid; the ad that is being blocked on his site is pretty unobtrusive, is simple, and I would guess does not track the user like so many other ads/ad companies do. However, the title of the article, "Ad blockers are part of the problem," doesn't reflect reality. Yes, in this case, whoever is updating the block list is specifically targeting an okay ad, but in general ads are nasty, track users, and are generally terrible. The reality is that the author really can't be mad at ad blockers without really, really being mad at the ad companies that cause people to use ad blockers in the first place. Sure, in this case, it sucks that the ad is being targeted and is due to a bad actor. And yes, Hunt has every right to be mad at this bad actor and Adblock Plus for, through inaction, being okay with it. But the issue is not with ad blockers, it's with most ad companies being horrible and consumers rejecting the horrible ad companies. I think if the ads were less obtrusive and didn't track you (I have heard on multiple occasions across various cities that people are either joking about or freaked out about looking up some product and now seeing all of their ads target some variation of that product) the amount of casual people using ad blockers would go down.
