When 99.99% of ads on 99.99% of sites are horrible monstrosities of Javascript and browser tracking and fingerprinting scripts, they will all be blocked and stay blocked.

I'll look at an ad in exchange for viewing your website. I will not let you digitally rape me in exchange for viewing your website.

Exactly. When and if the ad industry learns to regulate itself I will stop blocking ads.

Until then, they've screwed themselves over.
