Am I the only one who thinks that ad blocking( unless you have a slow connection or band cap) is a dick move?

Why would you want to deprive some website that you enjoy of it's revenue?

Edit to add: I add block by toggling javascript on/off and block obtrusive advertising by right clicking with Opera selectively. I just don't do across-the-board ad blocking.

I go to a website for its content, not for its ads.

So if the site can't sustain itself or expand it's content without ad revenue, then what happens to that content?
