The fact that they are losing views because of the overly-agressive ads isn't really the problem, it's how they are losing them. I don't think anyone has a problem with the free market idea that if you don't like what payment you're required to give for a service you can choose a different one. So if you don't like the advertisements on a site you can just go to a different one. What I don't agree with is you don't like the ads on a site so you just dcide to not see the ads but use the site's content anyway. If you don't agree with how much money a grocery store is charging for an apple then you can go to a different grocery store, but you can't just decide it's not worth that much money and take the apple without paying. Sure, you never signed a contract saying you'd view ads in order to get a site's content, but you never signed anything with the grocery store either.
