minus-squareSoGrumpy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoThe average Joe or Jane have no idea about ad blocking possibilities. They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web. I have even shown people the difference between their browsing experience and mine, and still they can’t be arsed to install an ad-blocker. But then again, they use tiktok and Instagram and all the other brain-numbing shit out there.

They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web. Actually about a third of all users have an adblocker installed. Adblocking has been mainstream for a while, no doubt why Google finally stopped pretending they were OK with it.
minus-squareZILtoid1991@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoI personally wouldn’t mind ads, if they weren’t too obtuse and/or malware ridden. I often turn off the adblocker for independent news sites, as theirs are less obtuse and are vetted better than just running an AI to detect nudity and/or slurs.
