I think you should do you and browse whatever you want. I still use Reddit when looking for opinions on products and services because there's nothing close to the discussion on there. But visiting the site (without an adblocker) 100% still generates ad revenue and is what matters to ad companies, regardless of actually participating in the discussion.

The clicks, even with an adblocker, are still worth something, right? Especially if they're tied to an account.

So wait visiting with Firefox+ad block doesn't make Reddit money?
