Nah, ads are only worth as much as it actually makes people spend on products. Whether those products are being sold by showing 5 ads or 5000 ads, does not make the ads worth more as a whole.
Companies have just been in an arms race to show ever-more ads, to get slightly more of those 5000ths of the whole cake.
Blocking ads isn’t removing any value from the system, unless you planned to click on lots of ads and buy the products behind them.
Fair enough, but if no one viewed/clicked on the ads then the internet would still need money to stay operational. They would figure out a way to either serve ads or do some other heinous shit to make money. So we need idiots who refuse ad blockers.
Those people subsidize our ability to use ad blockers, imagine if everyone used uBlock and ad companies started cracking down on it.
