I like how you frame the argument as if advertising has the moral high ground.
> If we're going to use ad blockers, at least let's admit to what we're doing and not claim a moral high ground.
If we are going to use psychological warfare to part people from the fruits of their labour in exchange for cheap crap they don't need by exploiting human weaknesses and insecurities, just so we can keep an unsustainable and highly damaging model of growth going; and also serve malicious software to those people, then let's not pretend we have any moral standing at all.
Adblocking is has a hell of a lot more moral substance to it than advertsing does.
