The argument is that your consumption of the content is is tacit consent. I find the argument to be specious at best.

It's theft when they do not consent to you using their services with adblock on.

If I switch to another chanell during ad on TV, is it theft?

AdBlockers just saves a lot of your time and keep you sane during content consumption.
