There is at least one other reason for adblocking: ads - even those on reputable sites - have been used to spread malware. Blocking ads thus is like using a condom, where your partner has insta-sex with hundreds of others the moment you get undressed. Not "it is better", but "you'd be insane not to". Secondly, I've never ever heard of a case where the site showing the malvertisements offered any sort of compensation to their victims. If that's how sites like to see the ads, all profits to them and zero responsibility, I see absolutely zero problems with adblocking.
