Well I'll tell you more: if you're not buying anything from the website and you're blocking ads, then you're not the target audience and your opinion is irrelevant to the site's owners. You're just burning electricity and occupying the CPU. Which means that by using an ad-blocker, people are removing themselves from the audience that has any vote in how content sites develop. You're miffed that sites are becoming dumber while ads are all over the place and uglier every day? You don't like video ads, modal calls-to-action and dark patterns? Well, the audience that actually brings in the money seems to have no problem with all of that, so ad-blocking people will proceed to take a hike right past the attention of site designers.
