We Lose 73% of Revenue to Ad Blocking (AFDS 2025 Presentation)

Techlore was invited to the Ad Filtering Dev Summit in Cyprus, where Henry spoke about the paradox we face: Techlore recommends ad blockers for digital rights & privacy & security, but we partially rely on ad revenue to survive. How do we navigate this? After 10 years, we've diversified revenue across sponsors, community support, and affiliates to get ahead of this, but what happens to other independent voices as ad blocking grows?
