Anecdotally, I feel like half the people in my immediate circle of friends/family still don't use adblockers unless I help them set it up. And then that only holds until the next time they get a new device and I'm not there to help them do it again.

- AdmiralAsshat 5y agoAre we sure this "truly internet first generation" is primarily using laptops? If they grew up with an iPhone/iPad, there's no guarantee that they even have adblocking as an option.
- colinmhayes 5y agoThat's a good point. I do think the push to get users on mobile has a good deal to do with the difficulty of blocking ads on mobile. Maybe that's where we're headed. Instead of making adblockers illegal users will be herded into locked down platforms that don't allow adblockers.
