The problem is, for many sites, ads are literally their only form of income. Consider Youtube, for instance - you get a shit-tonne of content and you don't have to pay a dime. The only way that the creators get any money at all from their videos is via ad revenue (ignoring merchandising and sponsorship deals, which are really only a major option for channels that are already extremely successful) and the main way Youtube gets compensated for the significant expenditures to host that many videos is ads (though, in their case, they also get some money from selling information about you and your viewing habits).

Running ad-blockers on these sites is simply selfish, because it's taking content for free and giving nothing back to the creators.


Tough luck-- that's part of the game. It's the choice of people viewing YT content to have this software or not, and unless there's a law that prohibits using software to circumvent ads, that's part of the problem that YTers have to deal with. There's no moral superiority here-- it's simply business and convenience.
