        The demographic that used to rely on DNS/hosts.txt-based ad blockers and then switched to more integrated solutions like NoScript, uBlock, or uMatrix.

        Seeing ads (especially given how aggressive and ubiquitous they’ve got) is now just low key upsetting. All that bandwidth and processing power for distracting me while I’m trying to find something.

        I remember seeing a auto-playing video once on mobile, checking my data and it just ate 2MB of my 100MB monthly plan. Fuck, I was so angry, I blocked the entire site.

        Not completely immune, but I imagine there’s a non-zero amount of people in the adblocking demographic who are immune to Internet ads specifically.
