Tell that to the ads that are nothing but fake "Download" buttons. Hell, I once saw an ad on a webcomic website that was nothing but a gigantic "<< Back | Forward >>" image, pretending to be navigation. You can bet I turned on ad-blocking again for that site right then and there. Right now, the biggest solution to ad-blockers I'm seeing is Patreon. You like content? Fund it to keep it alive. Content creators aren't placing ads because they love having ads next to their content. They're doing it because they want to make a living doing what they like, and so far ads have been the only option. Solve that fundamental problem, and you solve the "ad-blocking" problem. The only casualty will be advertising companies and companies that depend solely on ads, and honestly? Good riddance.
