It is not generally considered unethical to set up in business, even though that will often 'demonetize' (reduce the income of) other actors in the same (or a related) line of business.
If you consider all monetization of web services to be unethical, then it is moot whether or not it demonetizes others.
As you are advocating the use of Ublock, it seems that you do not think the demonetization is ipso facto unethical.
Furthermore, the newcomer is offering an alternative form of monetization, and will presumably only succeed if that is regarded as preferable by some group of consumers.
While this seems mildly ironic, I'm not really seeing any argument, for this monetization of demonetization being unethical, that can be threaded through all these points.
