The point was, I think, that they're giving more than what was asked for. With an ad blocker a user can opt out of expensive parts of the content and if they're denied that then they're being forced to consume the content they didn't want. A website makes a bunch of files available publicly. My user agent picks a few of those files it wants and ignores the rest. If my UA is forced to acquire all the files or the specific set the site requires, they're forcing me to spend my resources downloading, processing, and displaying files I don't want, at great expense both to my wallet and my time, and my mind. I have a tool that manages this for me and they're telling me I can't engage with some of their content because I won't engage with other of their content. It's like a buffet that requires you fill your plate only the way they want it filled. It's a buffet. It's not a prefix.
