"Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Taboola are paying the owner of Adblock Plus to unblock ads on their websites at a fee of "30% of the additional ad revenues" they would have made were ads unblocked."

I also hate the heckling coming with ads unrelated to the site content. It's another significant load on my attention. If it was related to the site content, it might even be helpful.
