Nothing is hard to understand, I just don't agree with your argument.
Facebook does not offer the ability to pay for an ad-free version, so who knows whether people are going to pay. I imagine many would. That said, I am not a member of Facebook's board, I'm not an employee, I'm not even a stockholder. I don't see how it is my ethical obligation to support Facebook's revenue stream. Since the terms of service are not negotiated between myself and Facebook, but written by their lawyers and presented to me implicitly on a "take it or leave it" basis, I do not feel that I've opted into that agreement, nor any obligation to abide by it.
Note that while I'm talking in the first person I don't literally mean me, as I don't use Facebook as mentioned in other comments, but any hypothetical consumer who wants to block ads or otherwise undermine Facebook's ability to track them.
