Who it does make suffer is the content providers, since you've taken away their main source of income. If you are using an ad-blocker, then unless you're supporting the site some other way (you're providing content to the site, donating via Patreon, etc.), you don't really have a right to be using it anymore. I do think it's a bit selfish that people get on their high horse and say "I only block because the ads are invasive/really annoying/etc.", yet still feel they have a right to use a service they're now not even paying for.

I pee during commercial breaks on television. How is that any different?

Because a) You probably pay for your TV subscription and b) Even if you don't, the advertiser pays the content provider regardless of whether you sit there and watch or not. You're not robbing them of any income by muting the TV or walking away during ads.
