That's not blocking ads.

While language is an ever shifting thing, there's no reasonable way to claim that paying for something to not be shown to you is the same as preventing that thing from being shown to you.

The key word is blocking, which would be a defensive response to invading ads rather than appeasing the invading ads with a tithe.
