A lot of devices still don't run much more than 1080p so theres not a big audience for what you suggested.
Yeah but still with ads for free users.
Cant be that different a number of devices who are running ad block
Phones and laptops have adblock, too, mate. It's not exclusive to people who make 80k+ a year.
Those also have firefox, you wanna compare the install count on that?
Not very many people actually use adblock, compared to who dont. A lot easier to just buy a machine and screen that can run 4k than figure out what the kids mean when they say "plugin"
I think you're very much mistaken about the widespread use of adblockers.
