Isn't this just the system working as intended? You gain benefit from the content of a website and the people who make the content get compensated via ad revenue. If you choose to not provide them with ad revenue, you don't get the benefit of the content. It's basically the same as walking into a store and choosing not to buy a product on the shelf. You're not "getting yours" by not buying something, you're getting nothing and paying nothing, zero benefit for zero cost.

I don’t know how people who block ads are so delusional to think that these websites would be sad to see them go, any more than shops would be sad to see shoplifters take their business elsewhere.

I get why some people might block ads but don’t kid yourselves, you’re blocking the only revenue stream for most sites and it doesn’t cost you anything. I’m not taking about tracking of course, sites that track you can get fucked.
