That's not exactly the same as the billboards effectively not existing for you like with adblock. You still see absorb the advertisement passively.

Good thing I have control of my software and can opt out.
I'm already assaulted at the senses all day long in different forms. The whole concept of advertising I find abhorrent. A service should only offer itself to me when I want it, otherwise they are just imposing themselves and I will dislike them for that.
Any way that I can opt-out of ads I will make use of.
Services that rely on just this business model should adapt or fail, simply. If the service is relevant it will come again from a different source with a more acceptable model.
