Cheating at games is antisocial. This means it is a behaviour that leads to a worse experience for a community of people to the benefit of those breaking the norms. For example, theft is antisocial.

I consider tools that make are dedicated to making antisocial behaviour easier to carry the same moral weight as the antisocial activity itself. Therefore I consider this tool to be antisocial, as is its creation.

Do you have an intent for this that doesn’t involve that antisocial behaviour, such as research or debugging? Or was that your intent?

Edit: Added elaboration.

this tool exists to spoil gaming for other players (changes and damages content for other players)

to preanswer: yes, I am fine with trying to detect adblockers and refusing to show content if ads are not shown. Yes, I am fine with paying for content or sponsoring people who create content I like or helping them otherwise. Yes, I will take any ethical steps that I can take to not see ads.

This includes ad blockers, taking steps to makes ads illegal and taking steps toward destruction of physical ads that were illegally placed in my vicinity - such as reporting them to local government so they can be destroyed or removing them myself if viable.

And I am fine with limited shops signs and ads in media that I am not obligated to see. But billboards, highly visible screens etc should not exist.

what is wrong with taking morality into account?

especially in case where you can easily avoid making world worse, with limited impact on your life

all known cases to me just made things worse
