A small shop has a sign, and a bucket. "Put $1 in the bucket and test how good you are at some_game."
There is no one there - it's an unmonitored booth.
Do you try your hand at the game and not put in money? They lose nothing, it's a repeatable game with no consumables. There is no one watching you, and there is no line behind you either.
Kinda bad analogy, really. Even if what you meant was that you should disable adblock on smaller blogs that want to get some compensation. You can't compare it to the service like a gaming machine, in your example I would see beforehand if I might like the game or maybe try and pay only if it was any good.
When I visit a website I have no idea what value I might gain from it so having adblock always on is just internet safety and privacy conserving measure, nothing else. If the website has a donation button or sells some services that I might be interested it becomes a whole other issue.
