It would be one thing if it was just a little couple kb image banner ad but this stuff is just abusive to your local resources. Taking the moral high ground and unblocking ads like some HN users seem to do basically says "I will tolerate an underperformant computer and diminished battery life for the rest of this devices shortened lifespan, and contribute to the ewaste crisis ever sooner"

I guarantee that if all ads were just a little couple kb image banner then the majority of the anti-ad people would decide that this was unacceptable to them for some new reason — or they’d rely on their stance that all advertising is immoral (see elsewhere in these comments for many examples of this).
