I was just more amused that it was an Adblock ad. It's a pity it is relying on hassling you with ads to get you to pay as I'd happily chip if to help with the development of an app I was enjoying.

It is hilarious, and I imagined a scenario of ad blockers paying the most for ads to appear instead of ads, like a protection racket

Adception - how deep does it go? Do other ad-blockers advertise in AdBlock's site? Do they pay for ads to be alongside other ads for ad-blockers saying "want to stop ads like those guys? Then use us". What if, ultimately, the only ads are for ad-blockers?
