      There’s a pervasive idea in adblocker circles that consuming someone’s content is payment enough. That companies would mourn the loss of ad blocking users.

      In some cases this is true. For borderline monopolies like YouTube, it’s worth more to keep you away from a competitor than it is to try and threaten you into turning off your adblocker, but for a news site for example it’s far from worth it.
