What’s the point of making people turn off their adblocker?

Many websites make you and many YouTubers ask you to. I don’t see the point because I’m not going to click on the ads and buy the product or service anyway. Or do ads somehow make money simply being looked at?

You’re not going to click, but ads have been around for a long time, and by now there are statistics that show that a certain percentage of people DO click. It’s a very low percentage, but it’s consistent enough that it lets them get funded based on how many people “look at”.

Again, because “look at” is directly proportional to “click on”, even if you personally don’t do it.
