I understand why people might think that. As I've said in another comment, it's the attitude of the developer that mildly infuriates me. I am not against paying money for a good product and I would've even paid the subscription, if 1. it wasn't so high (96€/year for a tool processing images in your own browser) and 2. he wasn't such a dick on Github to people.
I know developers need to put food on the table, but then they should at least be honest about that. Going into the uBlock Github and trolling people there while claiming you “always supported ad blockers” isn’t the right way and I am not financially supporting developers who act like this.
Also, some people don't seem to grasp that I'm not actually processing images for free on the developers' infrastructure. The image processing is done via Javascript on my own machine. So all I'm doing is loading the website initially, it's not like I'm taking money out of the devs' pocket by blocking his ads. Added to that, the site worked fine for many years, why do you need to put an aggressive Adblock detection in now? It's a cat and mouse game against uBlock and he must know he will never win this game.
Of course, it's his own tool and he can do whatever he wants with it, but it's still shitty to do it.
After all, you're right, I've decided to give tools like GIMP another chance. The problem for me is that I used Photoshop for many years (that's what I learned when I was attending art school, blame the system) and moving away to another tool like GIMP is a lot of work, because it works very differently. I learned there are plugins for easing the transition and I'll find another tool.
