Neat article. ABP's ad whitelist isn't necessarily strict blackmail; Users can effectively choose to offload the work of ad/provider curation to a third party and the advertiser faces the direct cost rather than the end user they are trying to reach. However, whether or not they have been honest, consistent and fair in how they curate ads/providers or not determines whether or not ABP's implementation is worth defending. I tried to read the article referenced in this article, but was hit by a strict paywall.
