Those messages do make me feel bad, but not bad enough to turn my ad blocker off.
I'm technically capable of blocking ads but that doesn't mean that I am also morally entitled to access content provided to me on the condition that I will see the ads. I suppose the fact that these websites only ask me to disable my ad blocker rather than refusing me access entirely implies that they give consent for me to keep using the ad blocker, but would I really stop using it if they did refuse access but I could bypass that restriction?
