Online content is the textbook public good. It doesn't compare to anything like cars, food, or computers. There is no harm from using an adblocker. It doesn't compare to normal theft in any way. You can argue it's immoral, but calling it theft and comparing it to stealing physical things is always bogus.

Online content is not exactly the same as physical goods, but it's not that far either:

- it costs very real money to produce, and

- it costs very real money to be served and to remain online.

These costs may be covered by ads, by subscriptions, by sponsors, taxes, voluntary contribution or anything else, but the they still need to be paid for.
