How Ad Blocking Occurs Globally

Recently we wrote about the rise of ad blocking software, a very real obstacle to the monetization of digital advertising. A whopping 93% of respondents in one survey from Unruly said they would consider ad blocking. Simply put, ads need to become more relevant to consumers and less of a nuisance if they are going to be accepted as legitimate content.
How is the trend occurring globally? According to a 2016 digital report from Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, ad blocking is a global phenomenon that happens more frequently in other parts of the world, including Poland (38%) and Greece (36%). About a quarter of online viewers use ad blocking software in the U.S. Most of them are under the age of 35 and are people who use news the most.
