I think most people use an adblocker to avoid seeing ads, not privacy. Most people (myself included) care more about saving time on YouTube videos and making webpages not have pop ups all over the place than privacy.

That's a pretty big assumption. I'd say my motivation is exactly the reverse of that.

I’d be careful not to generalize your own experience here. Just the fact that we are having this conversation on HN puts us in a bubble that is not representative of “most people”.

My motivation is privacy. The motivation of many people I know is “ads are super annoying”. Privacy awareness is growing, but most people are not as aware as the people on this thread.

This works both ways, and I'm warning of generalizing in the other direction based on an assumption of what is "normal among normal people".
