Doesn't adblock just hurt the site...?

Website administrators who use obnoxious ads bring it on themselves.  It's the same as using a megaphone to yell in a customer's ear when they walk in the door.

VGC is literally the reason I went out and got Adblock.  I use a high number of posts shown per page and I was getting multiple auto-play video ads with audio at once.  That's ridiculous.  Worse, sometimes some of the ads wouldn't load, which cut my page in half and stopped all the posts from showing up.  I'd often have to reload pages multiple times.

This has been an issue for years.  It's obvious the person in charge isn't going to change anything, despite threads like this showing up quite often, so for many people it comes down to getting Adblock or leaving the site entirely.

I'm surprised so many people use adblock. I've never really had a problem with it, even on mobile devices, and when there are some, I just X them away. I don't even use ad block. If it really is an issue, why don't people just send feedback to the site? Unless it is just tied to ioi, the staff could probably do something about, if they are informed on it enough.
