Every time some site or person tries to make me feel bad for using AdGuard DNS, ad blockers etc. I read an article like this and I feel fine.

I see three options:

1. Show me reasonable ads and I will disable ad blocking

2. Do the crap described in this article and don't complain when I arm myself against it

3. Do a hard paywall and no ads; force me to pay to see your content

It's my device. I decide what I download, execute and display on my device. A website is free to offer me to download an ad and I am free to decline that offer. Demanding me to download anything on my device or even worse execute someone else's programs [JS] and claiming that I have a moral obligation to do so is deeply creepy.
