If the authors are opposing advertising, why are they advertising their opinions here? These naive opinions are more intrusive to me than many targeted advertisements. To be clear, i'm not opposed to ad blockers. I'm also not opposed to some advertising. I am averse to hypocrisy.

Your argument falls apart when you consider HN is explicitly a place to advertise either ideas or products. And you can show your disdain via the downvote button or you can offer criticism in the form of comments. This is a platform for advertising, whether there's money to be gained or not.
