CMV: The onus doesn't fall on me to disable AdBlock and help the content creator.

If I am using Adblock, it means that I don't want to see the ads and won't click on the banners. Maybe companies will gain a footing in my mind for the next time I am in the supermarket but that is me being held hostage and subjected to something I don't want to be part of. This extension gives me the possibility of escaping the situation. 

I realize that the content creators need to earn money but it is their responsibility to find a way and monetize their product that doesn't involve emotional blackmailing me into disabling AdBlock.

By allowing advertising, content creators make money without charging their viewers.  The viewers get to enjoy the content for free, and the creators get paid so they can keep making content.  Everyone wins.

When you use adblock, you are taking action to deprive the content creator of their revenue from their creation.  without that revenue they can't produce their content, so they go hungry and you don't get the content you enjoyed.  Everyone loses.

I suppose it is also a store's responsibility to make money without preventing you from shoplifting.  This is not a strawman, that is exactly what you have said here in a different context.  You want to enjoy the product being produced by these people, but don't want to pay them for it, even though you aren't paying with money.  That is theft.  If you want to steal things, it can be difficult to stop you, but it is no one's responsibility to accept your theft and work around it.  It is some people's responsibility though to stop you.  So think about that if you want to take a moral stance on this.
