Then I don't understand. If (say) 20% of the 85% now using ad-blockers were convinced that they are hurting you, and stop using the ad-blocker, what will change? I am assuming that the "conversion rate" (i.e. people actually clicking on the ads that they now see) will be very near to 0%.

> and stop using the ad-blocker, what will change? The site would become less of a burden on our company. It would still not be profitable, but there's quite a difference between losing 100$ a month and losing 80$ a month to provide users content they've come to expect.

  No, I was assuming (maybe wrongly) that those that currently use adblockers also never usually click on any ad. The question, if you prefer was: Is there a difference between preventing ads from showing on the page (adblocker) and seeing them but ignoring them?
