While, like any advertiser, they help you'll disable it - they openly stated they are impartial towards Ad Blockers as recent as February [0]. Personally, if what they say is true, that most advertisers are advertising for potential hires - then I'm a non-option to begin with so I'd be a waste of money to advertise to. My blocking saves them from having to serve the ads and get pointless ad impressions.
The fact they aren't begging and pleading me to disable my Ad Blocker means I don't care if they decided to show more ads. I won't see them - it doesn't impact me in the slightest. They need to make money, some portion of people will see the ads, those people (at this point) are probably technical enough to know they could block the ads if they wanted to but have elected not to for whatever reasons they may have.
So the people seeing the ads are people who don't mind/have chosen to see the ads and everyone else is not affected. Nothing to be upset over.
