If their "monetization strategy" is so annoying (or insecure, which is another legitimate reason to block ad networks) that you're disabling parts of your browser to work around it, then their business model is broken and you shouldn't feel bad about it.

Wired in particular has a print magazine which is mostly funded by print ads, and they are owned by Advance Publications which did $8B in revenue last year so I wouldn't worry about them too much.
