I never said it doesn't happen. You're the odd case and of course there's someone who had adblock installed for them. I just said "unlikely", because they went out of their way to install the adblocker.

When you are blocking ads, do you click on them? I wouldn't: I'd instead be annoyed that I'm seeing ads when I have an adblocker running.

Is there statistics to support this as a business decision? How effective is continued pestering a person in order to sell a product. The Sales Pitch by Philip K. Dick comes in mind.
Any statistics to believe this is true? I know for a fact it's false for myself because I do sometimes click on ads when I don't block them.
