While I understand their point, I wouldn't call this "piracy". Ads have become too invasive in recent years. Not only they make certain websites painful to read, they also enabled a whole industry dedicated to invade users' privacy. And I admit that the main counterpoint to this would be to just stop consuming content from these creators. But ads are so pervasive these days, I would argue that going down that route would make most of the mainstream Internet useless.
