I may have said it wrong. I meant that, because of ad blocking, it's impossible to show you targeted ads, that data collection doesn't do anything bad to you personally. They can't use it to try to sell something to you in particular because that requires non-consensually shoving information into you, via your own devices. They can still use it for analytics, of course, but that's not nearly as worrying as creepily targeted ads that follow you around everywhere.

Ah, I see. That doesn't address the issue for me. It's not the ads I care about, it's the data collection.
