There was another post he wrote about Peace a few days ago:
>I don’t feel good making one and being the arbiter of what’s blocked.
He doesn't have a problem with ad blocking, but doesn't want to be the one deciding what's blocked and what isn't

My little hunch-o-maker tells me there is an untold part to this story and he's just trying to distract us from his real reasons.
If I were to guess, it was his tumblr/yahoo connections that reached out to him and asked him not do this. If he made a lot of money off of tumblr as a founder, than yeah, it'd be pretty sucky to build something that would hurt that product.
