Adblocking an immoral tragedy of the commons type move. Psychologically, It's not unlike NIMBYism or residents of a gated community that figured out how to avoid paying their taxes.
These poor, poor ad companies are being taken advantage of by me. I have no shame. I even immorally block ads on thousands of endpoints used by other people! Quite the tragedy!

Adblocking is a reasonable defense against the constant and expanding abuse (of both people and the commons) that the ad industry brought on us.
For the record, I don't engage in ad blocking as such. I block scripts, which has the side effect of blocking much of the more abusive ads. However, reasonable ads aren't blocked at all -- it's just that there aren't many reasonable ads on the internet.
