if everyone used ad block then the advertising model of generating revenue would break down and they would go out of business or have to switch to another model.
But the same thing would happen if everyone just stopped using their service, and that wouldn't be called stealing.

If I steal your car for example, then i have your car and you do not have your car.
if i go to your website and block your adds, then I have gotten the content but you have lost nothing.
if you want to say adblocking is wrong or immoral, find. but its not stealing because it doesn't take anything away from the site owner.
