I came across an article on Backlinko featuring statistics about worldwide ad blocker usage. Different surveys noted in the article have wildly different results.

I'm certainly in no position to argue with him. In Devin's role as Chief AI/Metaverse/Surveillance Officer for Defector, he has pioneered such thinkovative ideas as the algorithmically generated sandwich, the metaverse T-shirt, and the…
