  30% desktop, 15% mobile estimated in the US use ad blockers.
  That is not insignificant by any means, even if it’s overestimated.

    I imagine the amount of people using sponsorblock specifically are much smaller.

      You’re right, but I think it’s fairly safe to assume that if one knows about sponsorblock, they’re using an ad blocker too.

        Of course, I was only saying few people used sponsor block compared to (any) general ad blocker.

    So few… I’m going to just start offering to install ad blockers in everyone’s phone
