Honestly, as a publisher, I can tell you this is exactly the intent. Its already like you aren't there. Saying you aren't coming back certainly doesn't hurt the publisher. You are only going to continue to see more of this. Its inevitable or a large portion of the content you view will no longer exist. This adblock idea sounds cute but its unlikely to work and certainly can't sustain the content thats out there. Unless someone comes up with something truly innovative, its going to be a war vs the adblockers. Frankly I think people are too dramatic about ads. Sure if you click on those Facebook linkbait articles they are littered with dozens of ads. Is 4 second delay to view Forbes content really that disastrous? (I say Forbes because it somehow become the punching bag for complaints).

Forbes delays 4 seconds before telling the user they won't see content unless they either disable their ad blocker or "sign in."
