Oh hey, here's a crazy idea. Maybe, perhaps, the reason people are installing adblockers is not because we want to "steal" content but because your ads are obnoxious, ubiquitous and generally annoying

Yup. And admongers have had years to play nice and they won't do it. If they force their ads on me,I'll just close the site and take my little red browser elsewhere. Nothing is important enough that I have to look at your visual vomit. And what we are doing is NOT illegal. Your power stops at my browser. I decide what appears on my screen, not some mega corporation.
