What started the adblocker nag trend?

Adblockers have been around for over a decade, yet only in the past year or two you have seen them everywhere. What started the trend?

Not that many people use ad blockers. I'm not sure what the point of people worrying about it is. I now use noscript due to the annoyances created by the adblocker nag screens.
