Google adsense has a bigger problem, adblocking

It has gone from hardcore nerds (about 10%) blocking ads which was fine to everyone and their mother blocking ads on desktops/laptops, and I do not blame them. According to my measurements of adblocking (surprisingly easy to detect if ads are being blocked)

I have used adsense since it started in 2003 making close to million euro in that time, but the last few months have been absolutely disastrous (tho my traffic has also fallen in last couple of years unfortunately)

Basically the writing is on the wall and I have concentrated on other projects in last while

There must be alot of worried people now at google wondering if they will still have a job in a few years, yes mobile is helping but for how long?
