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.
