And for the record,at the moment i dont have any banner nor im nor popunder ads on my sites and still make money,so your claim is complete nonsense.
And another example:i have blocked ads here on gfy because they are intrusive and annoying,but i always check pinned threads,and also announcement section as well.
And i have sigs enabled,but images disabled also due annoying factor.

What's an intrusive ad? a 15 second commercial before a video on youtube? an adsense ad on a site? not so long ago, ads like that were the standard and no one was bitching... did you ever watch tv? aren't there at least 3 mins of ads every 10 mins? so how could a 15 second ad before a youtube video be "intrusive"?
ads on gfy aren't exactly "intrusive" either, lets be real, it's not like there is a popup hell each time you click a thread...
my claim is not nonsense, I know for a fact that I'm losing ton of $$ because of ad blockers...
I'm sure you are losing $$ indirectly too, for example: some sponsor spends $10k on ad package on gfy and gets little to no results because half the people on here have ad blockers... that $10k is partially coming out of your pocket, maybe that sponsor will no longer have $$ for a new better converting design for their tours, or will have to cut back on their content, etc = less $$ for you
