You've never seen a useful advert? What websites do you visit???
Not one of the advert results on google/ms/yahoo has been what you were looking for?

Given that about 14 hours of my average day is spent on the Internet - because I work with it, not because I have no social life... well, maybe that too - a hell of a lot of websites.
And how would I know if one of the adverts were what I was looking for, if I don't click them? I find the organic results always meet the criteria I've searched for.
TBH this is getting into a I do this/you do that debate on personal circumstance - not why I entered the discussion. I don't see the point in going 'round in circles all evening. I think we've made it pretty clear where we both stand on the subject.
You are assuming that those who block adverts by default don't contribute to websites in ways that more than makes up for the blocking of adverts - they're "stealing", don't forget.
I've been using the Internet for approximately 8 years. I have never seen a 'nice and useful' advertisement (and yes, I'm including the time before I started using ad-block plugins).
