Yes but a lot of us who do block ads block them largely because they are intolerable. I largly only started blocking ads at all because of how utterly miserable YouTube ads became.
Ads are attractive to many users because they have a simple option for universal opt out (adblocking) at the cost of everyone who isn’t a Freerider.

Gotta love loading a mobile webpage and 20% of it is readable text and the rest is advertising.

Another reason why they just externalize the cost of the website onto anyone who can’t use an ad blocker or doesn’t know how.
