You're making a very big assumption here. Last I checked people who blocked ads counted in the hundreds of millions and the number was growing rapidly.

Some old stats I found with a quick search:

https://pagefair.com/blog/2017/adblockreport/

> 615 million devices now use adblock

11% of the global internet population is blocking ads on the web

Adblock usage grew 30% globally in 2016

Mobile adblock usage grew by 108 million to reach 380 million devices

Desktop adblock usage grew by 34 million to reach 236 million devices
