Ad block is your right, same with every other privacy feature, addon, and content control on your computer. Being forced to watch ads is the unethical side and often the companies are the ones trying to circumvent technology to strap you to the chair with eyes pried open to observe some god awful promo for a product you'll never buy.
You choose to consume the content, though. That content isn't free, they aren't forcing you to watch advertisements, you are choosing to consume their advertiser supported content and then subverting the "payment" side of that equation. Not to say some ad companies aren't also unethical, there certainly are.
