Currently, to some extent. Again, my point is that there’s a ton of money at stake and it’s not like companies are going to say “welp, someone blocked our ads, time to close up shop”. Each time blockers have gotten better, all that’s happened has been the ad delivery systems getting more sophisticated — and since the providers can run the same tools I don’t think that’s going to change. Containing some of the damage by, for example, continuing to restrict JavaScript at least has some benefits but things like YouTube ads are the same format and delivery path.
