You are not entitled to an experience other than the one they are willing to provide.

And they aren't entitled to have me as a user or customer.

As ad blocking is a matter of basic digital sanitation, this is roughly analogous to me refusing to do business with a doctor whose office has a sign outside saying "no facemasks may be worn" — they might be allowed by law to make a bad demand, but it's still bad and they still shouldn't even if they don't care about losing my custom.

Using an ad block analogy, you aren't refusing to do business with the doctor.

A better analogy is you go into a doctors office, there have pamphlets for other services offered that you are no interested in, so rip the pamphlet displays off the wall and complain you're the victim for not being allowed to see the doctor.
