I try to minimize Adblock usage to the sites deserving it.
The reason is that ad blocking is killing the media, which is necessary for a functioning democracy. The magnitude of suffering a collective return to autocracy would cause is so disproportional to being slightly annoyed by ads, it doesn’t even matter if your faith in the importance of a free press is just a fraction of mine.
It’s usually not well received on HN, because journalists are generally held in lower regard than war criminals or chocolate thieves.
Remember that the people who use adblock talk about it a lot, and those who don't use it don't talk about it.
