I have a cousin who works deeply in advertising and marketing infrastructure. He's a code guru who helped to build advertising engines for Facebook and now works deeply in the industry. He has told me to my face that my efforts to delete ads from my life is stealing from him. Coincidentally he uses Linux and a suite of privacy and security products to hide his identity. Rules for thee but not for me.
It's completely fair to block your website for user who refuse ads or tracking, but obviously that's not a step they like to take.
