I think that's a rather tricky thing to say. They block access to the article based on them detecting the users content blocker. A visitors intention, therefore, might be to reconfigure the content blocker to not be detected anymore. This probably wasn't something everyone was able to manage, but the only thing he can say is something like: "We detected a content blocker for less visitors than before."
