This assumes you gain zero benefit from a network effect, which is rarely the case.

  No, it only assumes that you don't gain a positive net benefit from a networking effect in a network where people use ad blockers and then get upset and storm off your site if you do something about it. In the absence of data to the contrary, that doesn't seem like an unreasonable assumption.

    "Network effect" not "networking effect": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect

      Unless you're building something like a social network or marketplace site, that specific kind of network effect seems unlikely to matter very much.

        It seemed like you were confused about the term and or the correct use of the term. The term is "network effect" not "networkING effect." I am not invested in the argument one way or the other. I just wanted to point out how to use the term. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=network+effect%2Cnetworking+effect&year_start=1900&year_end=2008&corpus=15&smoothing=2&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cnetwork%20effect%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cnetworking%20effect%3B%2Cc0 https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=network+effect...
