Yup. Just like using Adblock hurts companies who have decent advertisements on their site, not just abusive advertisers. For sites I frequent that do not have abusive advertisements, I make exceptions for them in AdBlock. Otherwise, everything gets wiped out, on every site. If you're caught in the swath of the innocents, sorry, but I'm not sorry.
Long ago, companies, startups, blogs, etc, declared war. They decided that their readers, their users, their customers aren't good enough and they need to wring from them more money, more attention, more clicks, more engagement. And they are willing to do whatever they can get away with in order to do this, no matter how much it pisses off their customers. I'm not dealing with it. I used to only block actual spammers. And then it got to be so many emails to opt out of, and so much junk coming in. I used to click "unsubscribe", and then they started to pretend the word unsubscribe meant "I'm a real human, spam me more!" I'm happy to give you my email address, because you demand that I do so. But the minute I hear from you at a time when I did not ask you to speak, I no longer care what you have to say, ever again. Why should I go out of my way to figure out how to opt-out when I never opted in?
It's not that I'm walking out of a store without buying anything. It's that I'm walking into a store, being followed by a salesman who is telling other stores in the area that I am out shopping, and then being upsold on everything whether I want to buy it or not, for weeks, months, or years after I walk out of the store. And when that happens, I'm going to tell my friends not to shop there. That is what "report spam" means.
It's the right thing to do, and I'm not going to apologize for it. I would say "just stop being abusive and I'll stop reporting you as spam", but no, like online advertisements, it's too late for that. I will always block your ads, and I will always report you as spam. The privilege has been abused for too long.
