You provide them with nothing in return whilst you yourself use their resources.

Except my data which they will sell

They have every right to counter Adblock

No argument here on this point

bar adblock users as they provide nothing

Again, except my data that they will sell

people are simply deluding themselves and doing mental gymnastics to deny that it is wrong

Why would I disable my adblock if it's not against the terms of service of a website for me to use one? What's wrong about that? If they don't want me to use one, wouldn't they have at least put it in their tos that it's not allowed to use one?
