I suspect that adblocker usage is also a lot lower than you expect, with a quick Google showing less than half of people worldwide using adblockers on desktop and adoption below 20% for mobile devices in the US. So there’s still a broad market to target.
- jxramos 5y agoI discovered recently that eventually they catch you through persistence. Like YouTube ads, I was busy in another window and couldn't skip the add without interrupting something I was doing which couldn't be interrupted. So I wound up inadvertently listening to the ad, and they said some interesting stuff that make me pan back to the ad and watch it. Eventually ads catch you at an inopportune time, which is inopportune for you, but opportune for them.
