Do you use adblock? Why? Why not?

I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

I use ad blockers because ad companies are stalkers and ads are roofies. No matter what I do or where I go, an ad company is creeping on me, trying to manipulate me into buying something I don't need.

Fuck ads. Fuck ad companies. I don't need to be harassed into buying something. If a product is useful, it's quality will speak for itself.
