Where I don't side with Pachter, even though part of my job is to make ads, is that when you watch TV you don't pay more because of ads while on the internet ads, no matter your internet plan, take a big chunk of your bandwith and ressources from your computer. Here in Canada where internet is sh*t visiting a few websites daily with adblock and without adblock can make a big difference.
Also like someone mentioned before, there are websites with spyware hidden on their ads. We had clients asking us to make ads with videos that start on themselves, they don't care if the user has a bandwith cap... well I don't care if that same user uses adblock because of your stupidity.
