minus-squarekaty ✨@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 年前people really overestimate how many people use ad blockers and sponsorblock…
minus-squarefilcuk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 年前30% desktop, 15% mobile estimated in the US use ad blockers. That is not insignificant by any means, even if it’s overestimated.
minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 年前I imagine the amount of people using sponsorblock specifically are much smaller.
