Those two crowds intermingle, you realize that, right? They're your family and friends, and they talk to each other.
My family prefers convenience and I cannot for the life of me make them realize the value of their privacy. They get lost if a button is placed at the top of the phone instead of the bottom. They complain when they click on an ad and the resulting page is a "cannot find the server" (because of it being blocked). To them, ad blocking is an inconvenience.
I guess it will just come down to which is more inconvenient, a web page that doesn't work every once in a while, or constantly being bombarded by ads which makes a web page hard to read.
