A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

people really overestimate how many people use ad blockers and sponsorblock....

[–] filcuk@lemmy.zip 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

30% desktop, 15% mobile estimated in the US use ad blockers.
That is not insignificant by any means, even if it's overestimated.

I imagine the amount of people using sponsorblock specifically are much smaller.

You're right, but I think it's fairly safe to assume that if one knows about sponsorblock, they're using an ad blocker too.

Of course, I was only saying few people used sponsor block compared to (any) general ad blocker.

So few... I'm going to just start offering to install ad blockers in everyone's phone
