No. It's my device and I choose what displays on it.

This is the right answer for me. I am not about to be forced into potentially receiving malware because the web host doesn't moderate their ads. Nor am I going to be blasted in the ears with auto play sound ads.

I die a little inside when Captcha's have video ads that have to play before the text is shown on the bottom of the video.

This is an important point, that some ads are actually security risks.

Devils advocate here: Yes. It's their service and they choose what to display on it.

I think its unethical for forced video ads on mobile as you are wasting that users data against their will but otherwise I think the site owners have somewhat of a right to ad revenue.

note: I personally still have my ad blocker always on, near no exception, I also think depending on ad revenue to keep sites up isn't exactly a business model for today.
