Personally, I don't like ads. I don't run ad-blocker, but I do tend to avoid sites with disruptive ads. Ad based-revenue splits the service into two, and creates a three-party relationship where the service tries to make it feel like a two-party one.

If we have ads here, I don't mind if someone uses ad-blocker. That decision is the user's and it is not something that I want control over. If ad blocking means our model is not sustainable, then it is on us to adapt.
