The comment was probably downvoted since it had nothing to do with the original post, and might as well have been posted based on just reading the title. The post does not suggest that people should not use ad blockers. It's lamenting that even a custom ad that's as technically benign as possible (text only, no tracking, no JS, not part of an ad network, unobtrusive) is getting blocked. And not just blocked as a side effect, but in a targeted manner.
If someone really is only interested in blocking malware rather than in blocking ads, they should be furious that his ad blocker is over-reaching like this and blocking something totally harmless. While if they actually don't want to see ads, at least be honest about it.
