Website Adertisments Part 2

About a couple weeks ago, I wrote about blocking website advertisements, and about a week ago, I came across another article on it (Why Adblocking is the New Speeding).

I only wanted to revisit this because the author makes a very valid point:

.... Like pretty much everyone else on the outside three lanes of the four-lane motorway, I was over the speed limit.
And what happened? Nothing. I carried on going above the speed limit. Many of us that day were breaking the law. And nothing exceptional happened. No police stopped us. We broke the social compact – the one about obeying most laws – without compunction. None of the people on that motorway that day had an accident there, so is speeding harmless?
It’s also a fact that around one-third of car accidents can be ascribed to excessive speed. Going too fast is highly correlated with accidents.
Yet we ignore it. And we speed. ....

  Just like speeding, people that block ads are going to continue to block ads because there isn't really much immediate consequence to do so.

Similarly, there’s no retribution for adblocking. Nothing happens when you do it, except you get a better experience. Ditto for speeding: you get where you’re going sooner.

The only thing I disagree with this statement is that for speeding, you do get where you're going sooner (results differ a bit depending on distance if you're doing it on the highway or in the city), but the main consequence is that your gas mileage becomes worse above a certain speed (supposedly it's above 55mph, but I think it depends on other things, really). But it is what you intentionally give up to get where you want to sooner.

That was all that I wanted to revisit this topic for.
