My favorite are the sites that know your are ad blocking, suggest you turn it off but you can just ignore that.

Kind of does. They can downgrade/underclock their equipment to account for traffic.

Less unpaid traffic means less server strain, so they're better off for you not mooching. They certainly don't gain anything from you using their site and potentially lose a little from unpaid traffic like yours.

Some of them keep spamming you to whitelist. Honestly, if it's just static banner ads, I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to going along with it, but even then ads can have security risks.

I'm pretty sure they lose money by doing that. Free users are also free advertisement and if all they are doing is transferring text and images, the data you use is virtually free, and then pretty much everything that runs downloads does it 3rd party. I'm convinced the reason more successful sites don't do this is because it's actually not profitable.

This. The exposure that comes from extra traffic is going to outweigh the cost of extra server load in a lot of cases.

"I'm not stealing your bandwidth, I'm paying you in exposure!" >_>

When 70-90% of the site's visitors are paying in "exposure", people need to stop exposing themselves so these sites can get paid.
