  It would have to be millenials since Gen z exist almost entirely in the walled garden of a phone app.

  Most people now a days don’t even use a desktop with a browser. I honestly expect that most of what they are “seeing” is just web scrapers for the LLM. Those are likely to “block” ads simply based on efficiency, since it shows down crawling.

    Why would anyone use a desktop? That’s like a baby’s toy!
