Glad you asked this -- as many people think my opinion on this subject is something other than what it actually is.
I don't hate advertising. Good advertising I actually love.
Unfortunately, there's lots and lots of the horrible variety and way too little of the good variety -- but I see signs of this (slowly) reversing.
That's beside the point, though. The point being that Readable doesn't circumvent advertising -- it only loads on request, in response to a physical user action (clicking), by definition after the original page has loaded, and it also makes it very easy to get back to the original page. I honestly don't see how I could be more accommodating, towards ads :)
P.S. Also, Readable wasn't originally created because I was annoyed by advertising -- as I have a tendency to read only those sites with good advertising.
It was made for the sole purpose of allowing people with particular (and maybe even peculiar) tastes about how text should look to read comfortably.
