For this reason alone, fuck any company banning ad blockers.

Its literally always been that way. When a webmaster gives up control of their content, it gets exploited.

Yeah, malvertisinghas been a thing for over a decade, maybe closer to two. And it is something hosts at every level have had to deal with, including NYT and BBC.
I’d have no issue allowing ads if company’s properly vetted what was being advertised and did so through their own host/domain, because then you’d know that there was a human between you and whomever they’re selling space to. And I’ve seen a few small blogs do this sort of thing when I’ve been deep down a rabbit hole trying to solve a problem, and I respect the hell out of them for being willing to do the legwork to own what you serve. But most places want to do ad sales at such volume that its just not ‘economically feasible’ (ie, it eats away at the money they’re getting from the ads) to do so.
