Ask HN: Should I feel bad for using an Ad Blocker?

I've been using and Ad blocker ever since I've known about them. Previously it was Ad Block, but I now use uBlock Origin.

I was just reading an article on Wired when I noticed this [0], which got me thinking, should I whitelist them?

I felt I should, and if them, why not other sites?

The only way sites earn is by ads right, so If I like their content and don't view ads, am I 'cheating'?
