The Internet existed well before it was handed over to commercial entities for enshitification.
The current Internet which basically consists of 5 giant websites who’s content is largely stuffed full of ads for the other four might not exist and I am okay with that.
And it exploded because of that. Stuff costs money. You either pay for it or ads though.
I’d prefer having the internet of now than what was before.
You can use ad blocker but I’m pointing out the your theory. Without ads the Internet doesn’t exist in its current form. As long as 90% don’t use ad blocker it’s all good.
I suspect they spend most of their time in apps and not surfing the internet. Just a guess really since I saw the mobile traffic exceeded desktop. A lot of people don’t spend hours on the “internet” surfing. Tic Tok sure. Hell I’m getting more and more like that. Even when I use chrome I still only go the the same sites for the most part. lol
Except most people don’t use adblock. I don’t even know how they live
I forget that these people exist sometimes. I can’t ever go back to the internet with no ad blockers.
You realize the Internet costs money. Those sites don’t charge due to advertising. If everyone used ad blocker. There wouldn’t be internet.
But blind there

It could be a good thing. Maybe they won’t bother about people blocking ads because they become even less than before.
So maybe you need to pause the ad block a lot less.
