> The voice of "those who care" has always been a minority
To add to this, people who cares most powerfully had probably switched to alternative, open source, software solutions. This leaves the remaining group with less "care" on average so fewer would complain. Kinda like evaporative cooling.
So, are there anyone already doing this? From the attitude towards Comcast, it looks like there will be lots of funding from people dying to get a better alternative.
Facebook was already in trouble for allowing people to place ads to whites only for housing - that is against the law in the USA. And after being informed of it - despites thousands of software engineers - Facebook was not capable or not willing to change it.

adblock plus is commercial operated and is paid by advertisers to get whitelisted, akin to an extorsion mafia business. It's an ad blocker coming with tainted default settings. It used to significantly impact performances (not sure if this is still the case).
ublock origin is a one man personal project to improve his online browsing experience that he shared with the public and has become the goto reference. It has no whitelist or acceptable ads policy, is a general purpose blocker (blocks trackers, remote fonts, etc.) coming with sane default settings. It does not have the same performance issues adblock plus has.
In short: ditch adblock plus and switch to ublock origins.
