"Most" is kind of a meaningless word. Most people I know use Netflix / HBO Go, Spotify / Youtube / Soundcloud, do not buy newspapers / magazines (they still make these?) and are on their phones the whole time they're walking / driving in public.
If a company wants to force people to see ads, they can do what Forbes does. It's inconsistent to allow people to see content and complain that they don't see the ads. It's like a Halloween candy bowl with a "please take one" sign. If you don't enforce your ideals you cannot represent yourself as holding them strongly. Facebook allows people to use adblockers, and they don't have to. They choose to because they know that not seeing ads is more valuable to users than the service Facebook provides.
