Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette
muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoToggles like that are available in other adblockers too and they pose a problem. They ad a random to showing you ads. You don’t want the ads but if the advertisers pay the adblocker company they get whitelisted and you see the ads anyway.
Never use those toggles.

Do you have some evidence of this?

Okay, I’m assuming that you are asking for evidence of the paying of adblockers to allow some ads through, and not for evidence that he fixed the typo he thought you were actually posting about?
Do a quick search for why we all now use ublock origin rather than ublock plus, and then for why we were using ublock plus rather than ublock, and then for why we were using ublock instead of adblock. There might be some adblock plus in the middle of that somewhere as well.
