I quit reading TechCrunch/CrunchGear after they published an article about how human rights violations in China were a good thing. I forget what their argument was. I used to check their site multiple times a day. I decided not to give them ad revenue after that.

> not to give them ad revenue after that You can use adblock and other tools. In fact, on TC it's essential: ghostery reports 15 different classes of trackers and ads on the site

  As much as I support ghostery and other non-tracking tools, I believe its a stronger position to not use a service you don't agree with rather than steal it.

    I agree. I'd rather not use a service at all which I find morally objectionable, than just deny them revenue and keep using it. Adblock does kind of feel like stealing to me.
