Not saying it's right or wrong... just pointing out what I see as logic 101 fail.

There is a difference there... you pay cable and paper therefore paying for the advertisements even if you don't watch them or throw them out.
Here there is no revenue generated unless you click...
Riddle me this... if I block all the bright, flashy, resource-hogging, bandwidth-grabbing ads, am I not saving the website money by saving the bandwidth?
That's like saying well I saved you money buy taking just a snickers bar (small piece of BW) When I could have taken Nachos and a pizza(Large part of bandwith)
Taking BW, even if it just a small part that you were able to reduce by a nominal amount, is still taking BW.
