Dry those eyes, ad blockers are unlikely to kill the internet

>> So, people who don't even get served ads by blocking the very possibility are those upon which the ads would have been wasted anyway.

Your logic is based on this and it's nonsense. Just because your a person who's installed an ad blocker doesn't mean you would never have made a purchase because of an ad you found relevant/interesting. I have upon occasion installed ad-blockers, I have also on occasion bought things because of ads.

It may be true for some but by no means all.

And as for "won't kill the internet" I don't think anybody sane thought it would. But it will kill off chunks of it and some of those chunks are worth keeping. People who maintain a website supported by advertising that serves the tech-savvy community will probably be the first to die.
