You have no right to be in business. If you want to be in business you have to earn it. Pissing off your customers to the point that they take extra steps to make your content readable is a fail on your part.
>Removing ads from a website is no different than pirating software: You're getting the product without paying for it.
Total bullshit. I have a web browser. It lets me point at the web and consume content in any way I want to. If you don't want that put your stuff behind a paywall. So long as it's on the open internet it's my choice how I view it, not yours.
Piracy isn't remotely comparable and shame on you for saying it is.
