All those 3rd-party ad models are intended for free content providers. Basically for thieves like torrents, tubes, warez forums etc. If you have a good content which sells itself, why do you need any ad networks?

For example, I have a product which I sell from my site. Why will I give it away for free? It's easy to give away something that was created by somebody else. Launch a warez board/torrent tracker/tube with "user uploaded" content, put some 3rd-party ad system there and you are in chocolate. Very easy way to made money doing nothing right?

On the other hand, why would you use these annoying popups, popunders and other shit to sell your product (a script, a desktop application a paysite membership etc)? For example, if you are promoting some affiliate program using legit promo content (videos, images etc) you will link them to paysite directly, right? So how can you be affected by adblocking software in such a case? Enlighten me please.
