I wonder how prevalent adblocking is among the younger generations. Even among my peer group I’d see people browsing the web with no adblock and a bunch of ads on websites when I’d glance at a sea of laptops. It was eye opening that outside of the social media I use that many people are just not tech literate. If ad acceptance trending upward as people get younger and younger?

Speaking of advertising being a science like another person commented, it means it’s data driven. System harvesting data to make targeted ads a thing among other things…there’s ample data on this. Like another person replied.

Women in every generation block less ads however, which I found interesting.

My theory is women, while they do look at porn, look at porn less. Men will seek out a particular type of porn or a specific video and will not stop until they find it. They are also less likely to go on websites that abuse popups like sports streaming channels.
Also I think women are also more likely to use social media which usually don’t have ad blockers.
