Advertisers and their morality.. It's not less moral for me to get you're content for free as it is for you to create content to get my attention, and potentially my money. Just as you have right to do everything in your power to make money on your content, I have a right to do with that content whatever I want, and that includes stripping it from any and all ads.. If you don't like it you can hide it behind a paywall, DRM it, or get out of business.

Thanks for providing a recipe of a society where everybody hates each other because everybody is trying to "make money" off of each other. In reality, you're getting free content for which you're "paying" with having your attention bothered for a microsecond by an ad that's barely in your field of view. The horror is unprecedented and that is why this is what you give your attention and emotion to, not all those other horrible things that the world lives with. You're spoiled and you have no real worries, so you create a boogie man that you fight because it gives life meaning. That's my impression of this topic.
