I understand that it's inherently different, because there is no agreement/requirement set up to view the ads in exchange for browsing the website they are on
That's the crucial point where the analogy fails completely. You cannot be billed for something you have never agreed with in the first place, and at least in Europe you also cannot enforce a contract unilteraly by showing it to someone or hide it in the source code.
Regarding monetization of the web, I think you're a bit confused there. There is no right for businesses to sustain moronic business models that are not sustainable, and I really don't give a shit about whether and how people could make money from the web when I and others are using ad blockers. I have a right to determine what is displayed on my computer screen, and I sincerely hope that all ad-sponsored websites someday will go the way of the Dodo.
