"It can also cause Google to ban sites from Adsense."

If you object to ads, is that a bad thing?

Yes. I'm happy using the site with Adblock. I would be unhappy if they shut down because all of their revenue was lost. I'm aware of the implied hypocrisy but I'm content because I'm unwilling to continue using the product with ads. Under the current system I am able to have my cake and eat it too.
