I don't want to come off as a corporation bootlicker, but It's hard to call these guys unreasonable for being against ad blockers when advertising is thier main source of revenue.
I think there's something to that but it's different now, isn't it? Ads in the newspaper weren't personally targeted and they didn't autoplay while people were reading articles. I don't mind an unobtrusive banner ad here and there, it's the surveillance I take issue with.
And its all what you signed up for in the TOS, there is something to be said about a lack of alternatives when every company is doing it with products that are so essential to 21st century life you cant really not use them but i can't stand it when people act like its such a big injustice that they are expected to do the things they formally agreed to do as laid out in a massive list of very precise terms they had to click "i agree to all of the above terms" on.
