Good. Ad blocking is security and anyone that tells you different both doesn't care about your computer security, and also wants to sell you something.
That 2/3 to 3/4 of computer programmers, computer security experts and advertisers seems low. I feel like that should be closer to 90%
The rest are designing/coding/testing the ads and work for ad companies.
Or bots
You underestimate laziness
