That's the other side to this porn argument.

Well, I can see why some in this Industry are freaking out about adblockers. As a paysite owner I agree with you (shocking? LOL) that adblockers are good for business. But remember, a LOT of this Industry is based around the traffic circle jerk. I see this a lot at shows I've attended. The only people exhibiting are cams, dating (naturally), billers and ad companies.
So when the ROI of the circle jerk decreases by as much as 50% there go the margins (profits) of these ad companies and ad buyers. They are not interested in "content" per se, or providing the surfer with a good user experience. They are interested in pure, hard NUMBERS - and any way they can get to them. So that's why they are freaking out. It's understandable.
