30% of the general population is a staggering number for basically anything voluntary. I don’t know how you can possibly trivialize that number.

If you can get 30% of the population to boycott anything it’s not only significant but forces a response out of the group on the other side. You’re talking almost 1 in 3 people. Those are literally historic numbers.

Do you have any idea how much companies spend to increase their conversions by single digits?

Ok but using adblock isn’t switching platforms. It doesn’t inconvenience the user at all, and there are no negative network effects.
