The majority of people just can’t fucking be bothered, don’t fucking care or are completely unaware that there are other options.

    Pretty much this. People on the fediverse generally forget how ridiculously non-tech savvy the public at large is, moreso the underlying issues with things like AI, tracking, etc.

    And even if the public does know they can just shrug and say “so what?”

    People don’t know, don’t want to know, and can’t be bothered if told.

    Also recognise that for some people, things breaking is either scary, or just more annoying than ads. They expect ads, but freak out when a website is broken -which will always be a possibility with adblockers due to the nature of them.
