Why should we the general public worry about being 'fair' to spammers?

It's like the whole ad block thing. Now people have the power to do something about it they are asked to be 'reasonable' and won't somebody please think of the advertisers?

Nope. They had their chance to be fair with us. Techies have always been able to block such stuff but now it's seeping into the normal users ability/ ux upgrades hide complexity of doing so.

I feel as sorry for the spammers and ad trackers as I did for Borders when Amazon came along. Not at all.
