I've been using one for a decade or so now.

After seeing my mom get a virus just from casually browsing facebook and playing facebook games, not even clicking sus links or downloading anything off-site, I don't care how much you want me to whitelist your stupid site.

yes, obviously it hurts sites when they're not generating sweet sweet adbux

but... but. ads are a fucking nightmare. they range from just obtrusive like pop-ups, slide-ins, flashers, etc... to full on hijackers that stop you from browsing normally until they are dealt with. they are designed to be as annoying and difficult to remove as possible, and the people seeking to generate rev need to do a better job policing the types of ads they allow onto their sites. i've seen porn ads here on gamefaqs in the past lol

once ads are no longer obtrusive and are reasonable in filesize i will enable on sites that i browse. until then, not happening.

Morality doesn't really come into it I feel.

But I 100% support the use of it and will advocate everyone does it. Ads can slow down your experience, take up data, have viruses or fil your computer with malware etc. Sure, it might mean the business/site makes less money but maybe if they didn't make the experience of ads so awful/dangerous people wouldn't block them.
