[Larry the Loafer]

I always laugh when people boast about using ad blockers then moan when websites restrict their access or just say "sod it" and lock things behind paywalls, as if they're being unreasonable, acting as if they have a right to use their services while denying them revenue.

I'm inclined to agree, but I'd argue the ad blockers are less against the right to gain revenue, and more against the intrusiveness of the adverts. When the ongoing trend of making adverts so intrusive that it affects the functionality of a website, I can hardly blame them for using them. If your TV locked up during an ad break and and you had to reset it every time the adverts started, I'm sure people would be more inclined to find a way to avoid them somehow.
