People that know what ad blockers are frequently use them. The act of punishing the group that isn’t aware of adblockers simply will drive more users to discover/make use of them.
“We have to punish you because of what those other people are doing to legitimately evade punishment” is only a useful argument if the punished group can somehow cover for those not affected.

Exactly. It’s a tired argument that’s been made in a lot of different mediums. It’s not worked in any of them.
Remember those unskippable anti-piracy DVD ads that only paying customers saw? The media industry has learned jack shit during the last 30 years.
You could skip them on PC, and they didn’t come when you rip them. So it was only paying customers using it in the expected way.
