i always lol about people opposing ad blockers.

oh no! my favorite unethical multinational conglomerate now has a few bucks less!

Some people only believe what they're told by an authority, and some people only view massive corporations, politicians, and the church as legitimate authorities. So if a corporation tells them it's bad, they'll believe it's bad.
