Without ad blocking, they'll encounter "scam ads" that take over the browser and demand calling "support" that collects their credit card info and costs them hundreds of dollars in fraudulent charges. At the very least, it's a pain in the ass they have deal with by calling their credit card provider to cancel the charges.
