I honestly feel that blocking ads is a win for both the audience and those serving the ads. I don't mean this to sound insulting but if you're not (let's say) "wise" enough to block ads, then you're exactly the target audience for 99% of the stuff out there. This is similar to the way Nigerian scammers purposely use bad grammar to target the less sophisticated. It's a win for the ad network because they're not wasting bandwidth pushing an ad to someone who would never consider whatever they're selling.
