So I don't think that less ad blockers means higher revenue. Do you believe that the people who go through the effort of installing ad blockers would actually click on ads if the ad blockers were disabled?

A single data point, but: I have a few white listed sites where I allow ads because they are not terrible and I wish to support the site, and have occasionally clicked them.

Advertising is not bad or evil per se, it's the "quality" of the advertisement that matters.

As a publisher, clicks have nothing to do with how much I am paid. I am paid for impressions

I get 10x RPM from CPC ads vs CPM. Maybe that's not true across the board?
