In the general case, I assume it's mostly just bad coding practices, and developers not testing how their site performs with an ad or cookie blocker active.

  I don't buy that. Web devs know better than to suffer through ads. They block ads.

    You're assuming the webdevs have authority to make the site "backwards compatible" with those who use adblockers. If revenue comes from ads, why would management give the green light?

      My point exactly. It is the company that DECIDES to make the site adblocker-unfriendly. It is not accidental.

        It’s the other way around - they decided NOT to make their websites adblocker-friendly. Deciding to make it _unfriendly_ would require extra work.
