I thought this was an interesting development. I haven't seen the "you're missing out on content because of your configuration" before.

I’ve never seen that for direct advertisements, only when an article was embedding a video with related content from an outside source like YouTube or Facebook. And it didn’t have to do with the ad-blocker but because I had rejected third-party/social media tracking cookies and those get set by the embedded media.
