Why do people not use adblock?

Because they use ublock.

Because I want the people running the website to earn some money with my visit.

I could do many things, but I don't because:

  • that would require effort
  • if I use a service I pay for it as the provider requests, or I don't use it at all. I also donate to the Wikipedia and contribute to open source.
