There is zero possibility that 30-50% of people use ad blockers.

3-5% perhaps.

Every source I’ve found puts it in that range. Are you basing your percentage on something concrete?

"Chrome is used by 3.45 billion internet users. That's up from 2.74 billion in 2019. Chrome has a worldwide browser market share of 63.87%."

"Over 30 million Google Chrome users use uBlock Origin"

Source: the very article.

Even in the Google Chrome "niche", does 30 million out of 3.45 billion sound like 30-50% to you?

The overwhelmingly vast majority of human beings using web browsers are not using ad blockers. They wouldn't know how and it wouldn't occur to them in the first place.
