People don’t block ads because they want to deprive websites of income. They block ads because they have been driven to it, by the ads themselves. This could be avoided if websites served ads responsibly: no JS, no animations, no video, no audio, no tracking, no scam merchants, no tricks, no manipulation, no unskippable ads, no dishonesty. Almost no websites do this, so I have no ethical qualms giving of the ads the banhammer. Once websites start respecting their users, then we can have this conversation about ethics, but not a second before.
