Adblock is wonderfully convenient, but it's extremely unfortunate from the business side of things. Content is not produced for free and the assumption is that it'll be paid for by advertising, but if you use adblock the content providers can't make their money. I understand that sometimes the ads get annoying, and I try to keep them manageable on the site I run, but if you don't approve of the ads I don't think adblock is the answer.
Basically that's like disapproving of how much apples at a certain store cost, but instead of taking your business elsewhere which is the legitimate way to voice your disapproval you just start stealing them instead.
Again, I understand it's convenient and nice to not have ads popping up everywhere, but as someone who works as an internet content provider and has server bills to pay and writers to pay (what tiny bit I can pay them) it's simply unfortunate that some would take that route instead of just choosing to visit another site with less intrusive advertising.
