Is using adblocker free-riding the Internet? Do you think it's bad? I'm not using any adblocker now for this reason, which maybe is stupid. *much scruples, very hairsplit, wow*

This is a fair point. In which case I amend my position to "Running an adblocker is ethical in the same way that resisting someone's attempts to manipulate you are ethical: It doesn't matter if they think you've consented to it unless you've actually consented."
I mean TBH my actual position is that I'm gonna do it regardless and anything I say on the subject is a justification after the fact. But I am really resistant to the idea that I owe anyone my attention.
