Jon is right.
I personally also don't mind ads if they are not flashing, floating over the text I'm reading.
If ads on the internet would behave the same as ads in a newspaper then nobody would mind them I think, but the way that they make noice, float over text, blink/flash annoyingly, introduce spyware and thus spam that's what is turning people to adblock.
Also by using adblock there is more text visible on a screen than with ads.
