People blocking ads still buy things (or vote), at least 99,999 % of them. Yes, they might not buy the Wonderdildo to be stuffed into ass, but they buy something.

As one big aspect in professional media buying is coverage; I don't really get the downplaying of this problem. Well, I work 99 % in mainstream, so maybe it influences my view about this issue.
I understand it will need people to rethink there business model. As many have had to before and in the future.

Someone installing an Ad Blocker is exercising their freedom to do so. Are you saying they shouldn't or you should counter their decision?
