Do you have a source for those numbers? By your argument, advertising should already be unprofitable on desktop, which seems unlikely.

It's a site that they run, they are the source for those numbers.

A quick google says somewhere from 20%-40% use adblockers. 60% sounds high, but depending on the website, I can see it. For example, I bet at least 60% of visitors to gnu.org are blocking ads and/or trackers.
