Someone installing an Ad Blocker is exercising their freedom to do so. Are you saying they shouldn't or you should counter their decision?
It is not just about business model. Branding is not business model, it is part of marketing. Of course ads are just one tool in branding tool box, but anyways, quite significant one.

I am saying that I can do what ever (legal stuff) I want regarding providing something for others. I can demand something in return, it is totally legal. They make their decisions, I make mine. One example of this is newspapers giving up free news stories in their websites, partially or totally and selling subscriptions to their sites. They can demand something in return, not just give up when their ad revenue declines. This doesn't sound like so bad-ass move in porn (as you do it already), but in today's news media it is.
