If this is the attempt of some dept to increase ads for whatever metrics or bonuses, I suggest that this move will not increase ads much at all.
Many of us will just pay for premium to avoid. Some of us will engage in the non-stop war of ad block blocker blocker and perhaps ramp up to some other caching / buffering system that blocks the ads another way that makes it seem they run or whatever.
Sure a few grandmas who had a blocker setup for them will capitulate, but I would bet if you are aiming for some sort of 2% increase it will fall very short.
I block ads primarily for security, and because I abhor being forced alcohol ads and similar without a way to block at the ip level.
If adblockers are blocked I will be forced to go premium or switch to peertube / rumble / fbook, etc. I can't do ads, sanity, security, and time wasting are not in my future time blocks.
Although I would say, that some ads are interesting from a mar-tech / creative interest, and I wouldn't find a separate tab with a list of 'ads that may interest you' similar to the home page - strange I know - but that way I could avoid the security concerns and other concerns, and choose a few that could offer interesting offers.
