Many, if not most, users of news sites these days use adblockers just to make the site functional and not beat up their mobile data caps.
I most certainly use adblockers [of sorts] as well - I don't do mobile, so bandwidth is not a problem on desktop with a 100GB allowance for me, my measures have absolutely nothing to do with static advertising which I believe is the life blood of most sites, especially news.
For mobile users? Advertisers, publishers with a multitude of Javascript/Flash/Whatever objects and an assortment designed to "tickle me", track me, annoy me, get blocked... No wonder mobile users are fighting back.
All that surfeit of rubbish has nothing to do with rendering your pages so we can read the news.
I can well imagine why mobile users would be very cheesed off.
And no kids, get over yourselves, it isn't a privilege for people to visit your particular site - I'm a guest, you want me to stay and/or return? Be polite. Unless your want to be like traditional corporate sky rockets - sky rockets always soar toward the heavens, but they still return back to earth as "dead sticks".
AMP I would hope is an ideal for those who seriously wish to pursue the mobile market. It may not be the final answer, but pay careful attention.
