Actually Adblock is whitelisting companies who pay for. It can be discussed if this is legit or not but to me it looks like, “It would be so sad if all your wonderfull ads would be blocked, huh?”
So I prefer some of the blockers which don't behave like this and block all of this this useless crap no one pays bandwith for than me.
uBlock Origin for example.
And besides. If there is ad on TV I zapp away. If I watch TV at all. I hate this “buy-me”-screaming all day long. So for me an adblocker is perfectly legit. It's just a remote control to zapp this shit away I did not invite to my home.
Next step will be TV's you can't zap while ads are aired. I bet on that.
One good piece of software to add:
Spybot Search&Destroy
