My opinion of the for profit ad blockers is so low that I assume this article is sponsored content from at least one of them. I'd guess Adlock refused to pay, as bizarrely they're the only one who don't get their product linked to despite claiming to have solved the problem.
I always find it strange to hear so many people still use non uBlock Origin ad blockers. I feel like any discussion I've seen about ad blockers in the past decade has been overwhelmingly full of recommendations for uBlock Origin, deservedly so.
Recently Xboxes have been starting up with a huge ads for some dumb game. People are outraged and claiming they'll go game on PC. And what're they gonna run on those PCs? Linux? Unlikely. They'll load windows. And get the same treatment.
There's that George Carlin joke "imagine how stupid the average person is then realize half of all people are stupider than that."
Things like the complete lack of a mention of uBlock Origin, despite it having a rather drama filled few weeks. Or that a similar article was posted elsewhere claiming that though uninstalls were way up, it was mostly people moving to ad blockers that work. Your article feels like pandering for what I view as rather scummy companies.
