Where is the harm to you? Where is the problem you are "fixing" by doing this?
Actually, nm, I've had these types of arguments before with people who are just anti-ad/anti-marketing types, and know there is no convincing them they are wrong, morally or otherwise, and no change at really having a logical or reasoning filled conversation with them about it.
My answer to people like you is if you disagree with the affiliate links, then don't visit the sites that use them, and use only sites that do things the way you think they should.
At least then you're being morally correct.

You argument is that if I put a sign up in my yard, visible from the sidewalk, people should pay to look at it if I put out a hat. If the web site allows access without me even having to log in, it's free for the viewing.
Any business plan that relies on the generousity of others who have an active incentive to not be generous is doomed to fail, and nobody is responsible for that failure beyond whoever runs that web site.
