There’s a lot of people all over the world that would’ve never known about adblockers

I see this sentiment a lot. Is there any reliable data to support it?

Not OP but in my personal experience I've talked to countless people that had no idea watching YouTube without ads is possible (without paying) and their minds were blown. With Google calling out attention to it like this, I'm sure many will get curious. Most people don't use their electronics beyond basic functionality..

And tbh you're gonna be hard pressed to get real data of how many ppl are suddenly finding out about it.

Exhibit A: Youtube premium

Not to mention that Vanced-type apps and content mirrors are still going strong, and proper alternative platforms like Grayjay and Nebula are getting more attractive.

I wonder how soon self-hosted video distribution will be feasible. Does ActivityPub support that yet?

I think Peertube fits that description: "PeerTube is a self-hosted ActivityPub-federated video streaming platform using P2P directly in your web browser."
