There’s a lot of people all over the world that would’ve never known about adblockers

I see this sentiment a lot. Is there any reliable data to support it?

Not OP but in my personal experience I've talked to countless people that had no idea watching YouTube without ads is possible (without paying) and their minds were blown. With Google calling out attention to it like this, I'm sure many will get curious. Most people don't use their electronics beyond basic functionality..

And tbh you're gonna be hard pressed to get real data of how many ppl are suddenly finding out about it.
