I use adblock, but if it benefits you then I don't see why I can't just disable it for this page. I mean, I trust (wow!) you enough for that. I think. I hope. D:
Anyway, yeah. Don't worry about Pseudo, he has alienated enough of his fanbase already, and has neglected the lack of functionality in the one thing that keeps them with him. There hasn't even been an AF blog post about it saying 'yeah, I know it's broken, and I'll fix it whenever' or even that it is now dead forever. I don't think it's unethical in any way.
I don't click any adverts ever as a principle. If I see something interesting, I'll use Google to find out about it. Adverts are spooky scary and can never be trusted. Probably.

If you see an advert for something you like and use google to find it rather than the advert, it's kind of a kick in the teeth to site owner...
I know, but I've just gotten used to not clicking them because of the scary viruses and stuff that all adverts give you. They're all lies. One millionth visitor? Pah, I've visited this site over a million times myself!
On a more serious note, I literally ignore all adverts generally. Most of them are repetitive and uninteresting. :/

Unless someone's got really clever, the adverts should go to the same place as the google search would take you to...
