      The reason there’s such a pushback against them is because they’ve become popular. It used to be a secret amongst nerds; now it’s common even on the iPhone.

      I once saw stats from a 2015 study that said 40% of people on the internet used ad blockers. Who knows how that’s changed since then, but as somebody else said, the majority of people who don’t probably don’t even know that you can block ads, otherwise they’d probably be using it.
