Denying profit to corporations is theft, so using adblockers will be put on the same level as digital piracy. How dare you consume content without letting your eyeballs get force-fed ads.
after all that capital invested in marketing people better fucking buy. coca cola now spends more on marketing than on producing the products. they are literally spending hundreds of millions of dollars to advertise the best know brand in the world.
To this day, I have never bought something because of an ad. I get the concept of letting people know your product exists, but I know Raid Shadow Legends exists already and I am not interested, so fuck off.
So you admit that you’re a thief? If you see an ad it’s MANDATORY to buy that product otherwise the owner of the ad spent money for that ad for nothing!!!
Absolutely right. In fact, it should be illegal to see a product for sale and not immediately buy it. How dare you see a helpless corporation in need of money, freezing in the streets, and not immediately empty your wallet in exchange for trinkets that they so lovingly engineered to break in a set amount of time? You monster!
Using ad blockers is piracy, insofar as you’re avoiding paying the price the content provider has set for that content. The price is watching the ads, rather than being something directly monetary, and you’re not paying it.
That said, neither that nor piracy are theft, and in both cases I gladly pirate because the prices in most instances have gotten away too high for what you get. Either in terms of subscription cost, or the time and quantity of ads delivered.
Who pays first? The user, the content creator, or the content host?
I couldn’t care less. If my adblocker is that final straw that caused a company to go out of business, brings on the collapse of the internet as a whole, and ultimately the breakdown of western civilization, then all of it deserves to die. With that knowledge, I’d still update by block lists and donate to adblocking projects.

ME - “Not looking at the billboard when driving to work”
Police - “STOP! You violated a law!”
WHY, WONT, YOU, BUY?!

I would like to tell everyone that Raid: Shadow Legends is a shitty game and nobody should play it.

Guilty as charged, your honor.
You wouldn’t block a car.

This is a bit of a chicken and an egg scenario. Who pays first? The user, the content creator, or the content host?
