Owners of capital need workers in order to generate value. Without workers, there is no profit. That's the fundamental logic of capitalism, and is why workers have historically been able to form unions and extract concessions from the owners of their businesses.
Now, there's always a risk that the owner of a business could decide that they are OK with forgoing profit for a period of time, and sack all the workers. It's cost/benefit decision.
I hope that anyone who loses their job does a Giant Bomb and comes back bigger and badder (tho maybe it looks like they might just be striking? So hope that goes well too).
As has been pointed out to you already, those adverts are a terrible user experience. They are also used as distribution vectors for malware that can break out of the sandbox with 0 day exploits, or even jus using JS to run crypto miners in the background while you're browsing pages.
Until ad networks sort their shit out and block all third party javascript, I'm going to continue blocking them.
