People are so used to seeing ads they probably wont bother, i have friends who work in IT who just acceppt that half of the sites they visit are full of annoying flashy and intrusive ads.
Yeah but if you tell them about ad blockers and show them how to install them, and they see how much better the experience is afterwards, then they'll bother.
They said their friends work in "IT". They have most definitely heard about adblockers and know how to use them, if this claim is legit. As a person who works in the tech field, I don't know any coworkers who would not use adblockers. I find it kind of crazy to believe there are any IT professionals that don't use adblockers, but I guess some must exist. Maybe they feel like adblocking is stealing or immoral somehow.
