People who serve ads don't force you to visit their site. You do this on your own free will.

You're not a victim. You don't deserve other people's stuff for free because one site has deceptive practices. It's such an immature worldview.

The relationship between People and Sites you're describing isn't as one-sided as you think.

A website wants visitors as much as a visitor wants to see the content of the website. If a website exists but doesn't get read, what is the point of it?

Personally, I would take readers using adblockers over no readers at all, the same way I'd want people reading a newsletter even if I had to print and pay for it myself.
