And browsing without adblock means theat those who really pay for our services—people buying online ads—are being robbed. They paid specific amount for a specific number of impressions. Ok, I browse without ad-block, buty I never click on ads. That means that all those impressions on the pages I visited are wasted. Sure, their owners get their money, but that's pure waste of money for the advertiser. If majority would browse with ad blockers, well, maybe the price for ads would increase, I don't know. But putting the blame on ad block users is lame, all add block does is to stop wasting the money.

I don't believe this is true for Google Adsense since it's CPC (cost per click), not per view.
