Of course not. How will a multi-million dollar corporation be able to host a simple website on their own without ad revenue? Think of corporations!
It's not ad revenue. If you're on a site to buy something, and you see an ad and click away from the site where you can buy the thing, someone's fucked up terribly; there's no way the ad revenue was worth the lost potential lost chicken sandwich.
They're irritated because your ad blocker is preventing third-party tracking devices from linking your chicken purchase back to a wider consumer profile of you from other ad activity on the internet.
Agreed a paid conversion is always much more profitable than the aggregate ad rev/tracking benefit per thousand.
It’s bizarre to produce this message on a product site designed to sell direct.
