"I felt too disgusted to hold any of it. Holding it would mean being part of the problem."

Lol what problem.

If people don't wanna see adds, surely they can just use a good adblocker.

Yes, "doesn't everyone use adblocker?". Possibly. Maybe that's why I didn't get more money. I certainly use an adblocker. But there's clearly some subset of people who will see the ads. Some company policy bans adblockers. Or someone's using a public computer to do some browsing.

Or they're browsing on a phone. There are fewer adblock solutions for phones, to the point where adoption is basically nonexistant (I don't have data to back this up).

So seeing as how I dislike ads, why would I subject anybody else to them, if the money it gives me is insignificant to me?

It's the golden rule. Don't do unto others what you wouldn't want done to you.
