When I worked at reddit, I refused to run Adblock. I felt like it would be hypocritical to work for a company that made its money from ads, and then block them. Also I wanted to make sure that I had the same experience as the users.
When I left reddit, for the longest time I still didn't run Adblock because as a shareholder it still felt hypocritical.
But a few years ago I couldn't take it anymore -- the web go so awful with ads on it became unusable. And so I relented and went full Adblock. And life got a lot better.
(I did however whitelist reddit and a few other sites that I like whose ads are bearable)
