I've wondered how businesses advertise anymore because I never see advertisements. I don't watch TV. I don't listen to radio. I have ad blockers on my devices. I just assumed most people used as blockers too.
there's always the boomers who can't do it/don't know it's even possible and others that know nothing about computers that they can prey on
I know more zoomers who don't bother blocking ads than boomers who don't.
Like by a LARGE amount.
Entire generations have been conditioned to accept ads due to the iPad, especially on YouTube.
I did say others :P
Paid sponsorships mostly, since sponsorblock can't do anything without anyone marking a segment as an ad, you will see it in a video eventually.
