A good ad blocker would be one that will still load the page as intended but not display the ads. There would be no way for the site to know you can't see them. Blocking their activation just signals the site that you are using an adblocker.
Edit: I was thinking more of a VM sandbox like another comment said
One could make a strong argument that the creators of the page intended the page to show ads.
If you want to block them, that's fine with me, but arguing that not displaying ads is the intended experience of the page is just incorrect.
