People who block ads aren't freeloaders. I have seen this argument before.

We are all paying for those marketing budgets- its included in the price of everything we buy. Paying for our own brainwashing.

Whether people who block ads on advertiser-supported websites are "freeloaders" is a worthwhile question, but "we live in a consumer-driven society buying products from companies that use part of their revenue to advertise more products to us, ergo you should not object to me blocking ads on your website" strikes me as a bit of a shaky argument.
